+SamJansen. [Me | http://www.wand.net.nz/personDetail.php?id=211]. I attend WaikatoUniversity. I used to run DebianLinux on my home computer (along with MicrosoftWindows at times), but I am now a [Gentoo] convert. I do all my programming in [Vim]; I am a programmer by trade. ProgrammingLanguage~s I use, in order of how much I use them include:  
+  
 * [C] 
 * [C++] 
 * [Python] 
+* [TCL]/[OTCL]  
 * [Perl] 
 * [Java] 
-* Any other random language I don't use much or was forced to learn like [Scheme] / [Haskell] / etc. 
+* Any other random language I don't use much or was forced to learn like [Scheme] / [Haskell] / [Lua ] / etc. 
  
 Note that the above list says little about preference. For example, [IHateJava]. [C++] is generally my language of choice, but I am also a big [Python] fan. 
  
-I spend my time working on my PhD project in the WandGroup working with [FreeBSD ]. These days I'm the TCP expert of the WandGroup . I added the FreeBSD network stack in the NS -2 network simulator as part of my honours project, and I am now continuing this research in my PhD. Information about this project can be found at [http://voodoo .cs .waikato.ac.nz/~stj2 /].  
+A favourite quotation of mine about [C++ ] is: ''I think I've finally decided to stop worrying and love [C++]: like democracy, it's terrible but the alternatives are much worse .'' - - [Thatcher Ulrich | http://www .tulrich .com /] 
  
-See BungGameEngine for something I've spend quite a bit of my spare coding time on.

Outside of computers, I watch sports (cricket and rugby), play cricket, do a fair amount of cycling and drink the odd beer.

+I graduated WaikatoUniversity in 2004 after finishing my 4 year [BCMS] at the end of 2003. I obtained first class honours and won the Ramanujan Prize. Apparently the stream of my BCMS was "Artificial Intelligence", but that means nothing.

+Some [C]/[C++] links of note:  
  
-Some C/C++ links of note:  
 * [wxWindows] (multi platform GUI -- like a much better MFC) 
 * [OpenGL|http://www.opengl.org] (simple multi platform 3d graphics API) 
 * SDL or SimpleDirectMediaLayer (decent multi platform DirectX-like library)

-Is mentioned in the long distro wikiword SomePeopleChangeTheirDistributionsAsOftenAsOthersChangeTheirUnderpants :)  
+Stuff I sort of maintain on the Wiki :  
+  
+* [C++Notes]  
+* [MakeToSCons]  
+* [LatexMakefiles]  
+* [VimHowto]  
+  
+Something I can't stress enough:  
+  
+! If you happen to be writing a C/C++ application on Linux:  
+  
+!!! Use [Valgrind] for debugging. It is brilliant.

 Deserves kudos for being the only non-GianPerrone to mention [PASL] on a Wiki page.
