HiEv is now on alt-hacker.org!

Greetings! Welcome to HiEv's place on alt-hacker.org, which is graciously provided by Gandalf Parker. If you want to contact me, feel free to drop on by alt.hacker where I can usually be found.

For a little bit of an introduction, I'm a single guy living in northeast Philadelphia who grew up in South Dakota. My first computer was a Commodore 64, I still have my Amiga 1000, and during college I did a lot of work on VAX/PDP-11's. There I studied Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence/Cognitive Science, and I graduated in 1995. Now I mostly work with Windows (yeah, yeah, I know...) and am experienced with Delphi, Visual Basic, and a dozen other computer languages (literally.)

In my spare time I enjoy watching TV (especially sci-fi and anime), playing role playing games (not on computer), and hanging out in newsgroups (especially alt.hacker). If you are interested, here's my "Usenet Resume". (humor)

If you are interested in the replying and posting guidelines for alt.hacker please take a look at this link.

And, on a related and somewhat humorous note, here are 15 Things Never to Say in alt.hacker.

If you're interested in all the *hack* newsgroups out there, here's a fairly complete list.

Ever wanted to find some link that was posted to alt.hacker a while back? Well, try looking in the alt.hacker section of the Green Eggs Report and they might have what you're looking for.

And here is my Verizon Online information section and my Unofficial Verizon Online Upgrade FAQ.

Here is LinkFix, a little tool I made to make it easy to take quoted, linewrapped URLs and quickly fix them for browsing. Source code is included, or just run the EXE to try it out.

Also, here is my LeetSpeak Translator (for Windows) and the current Delphi source code for it.

Oh, and if you're interested, here's a little tool I call DayCounter. You give it a day of the month and a year, and it will tell you what day of the week that will be on for each month. Currently it only works for Jan 1900 through Dec 2099. Here is the Delphi source code for it, if you're interested.
