Hi Sear,
First and foremost, I’d like to thank you for providing not only myself but the entire FST community with this opportunity. I’m a scholarly high school student in New York who takes pride in the joy of learning. I’m the type of person who honestly feels like there just isn’t enough time in the day. I take a great interest in the fields of computational science and electrical engineering and hope to eventually pursue a carrier in either of those fields. In my spare time, I love playing video games, programming, reading, and watching movies. I also like to design and prototype electronics, although my budget isn’t large enough for me to be doing that very often. I have experience in Linux system and network administration, which I have gained through managing multiple dedicated servers. One thing I can’t do however is draw. I’m no artist; I’ll tell you that, haha. As far as programming goes, I focus mainly on working with PHP and C/C++. I run a realistic roleplay community which can be found at
http://integrity-rp.com. Feel free to take a look at my post history there to see an accurate representation of the professional manner that I (can) act in. On IntegrityRP, I not only serve as the owner, but also lead a small development team of 4+ people. Our team developed not only our website and UCP but also our roleplay game script for IV:MP which is currently over 6000 lines of code (and far from finished!).
I function best with a team, but also can work efficiently alone. Overall, I'm sort-of a laid back guy whose not easy to piss off/stress out. In school, most of my classes are college courses including a course in electrical engineering. At home, I’m on teamspeak, collaborating with friends/colleagues most of the time. Just a few days ago I finished writing a bittorrent tracker frontend in php/mysql entirely from scratch. It uses xbt as the backend. It sure looks ugly (Like I said, I’m no artist), but functions quite well.
I’m currently an active member at FTN with over 1TB uploaded. I have a minimum of 30 torrents actively seeding at all times and the highest I’ve had was 50 actively seeding at once. My home connection speed is usually somewhere around 25/25. It jumps around (Ex. 30/25 25/30 15/25 etc) but generally stays relatively high. I torrent PC apps, PC games, PS3 Games, e-learning material, music, movies, and occasionally TV shows. I’m also a member of bitme (Where I get all the educational material that I read in my spare time), and what.cd (Where I fulfill my need for music). I'm not a "tracker collector", I only have trackers that I actively use. I try to buy things that I believe are worth their price, when I can afford to do so. I own a 100Mbps dedicated server, however I don't plan to use it as a seedbox. My home connection is more than adequate along with my desktop's 3TB of HDD space.
Also, when considering me, I ask that you don’t overanalyze my post history here at FST (Hmm, saying that will make you analyze it even more I suppose. It's inevitable that you will read through it, however, when you do so, take with you a large grain of salt xD). Just about every post I’ve made is from years ago, back when I was immature and well… stupid. Feel free to PM me on these forums, or more preferably email me at
[email protected]. I will be very forthcoming and honest about just about any information you like.
Thank you for taking your time to read my long and boring “essay”.
-Doug
