My interest in MT came around after a friend showed me a youtube video about one. I took it at face value and basically convinced myself that it wasn’t practical to make on yourself. Then I stumbled across a DIY video and eventually found myself here. My background is software, so all the hardware setup and whatnot might be a little over my head at points, but once I’m set up I’ll be diving in head first.
I initially went to college (Champlain College) for Game Design major, but I switched majorsthat after I noticed that I really wasn’t interested in the way the major was working out.
I switched into the Software Engineering major, and learned what a large workload is. I have quite a few of hours experience in the field, and currently hold down 2 internships as well as being a TA. I am a Junior at Champlain College in Vermont (USA). I am up nearly 20 hours each day and sometimes hyped up on caffeine.
Well, besides school/job related things, here is a little more about me… I grew up in a small town where the number of cows outnumbers the amount of people by about 2 to 1. When I was growing up I went to a school that was made up of the kids from 3 towns combined, because there was not enough students in each to have their own school.
I played some sports in High School, and pretended to be a jock for a while. Then I joined the tech club my junior year, and began hanging out with the techies. By my senior year I was president of the “Tech Club” and was enjoying my friends and activities much more (LAN parties, anime nights, DDR nights, caffeine, coding, building pcs, etc.). I do have a beautiful girlfriend tha tI spend a fair amount of time with, and who is also interested in MT!
