| == Thoughts on Userpages ==
| |
| | |
| I propose people post some identifying picture on their user pages so we can keep meatspace and web interaction coherent. Also, a short list of what you're interested in and capable of in the context of HacDC.

| == Background ==
| |
| | |
| Electrical engineering student, class of <del>2010</del> 2011, [http://uky.edu University of Kentucky] (Lexington). My blog is at [http://www.phrontist.org phrontist.org] and I spend a lot of time on [http://www.metafilter.com/user/17670 metafilter]. Obligatory facebook [http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=12928991 here]. I'm a web developer and DJ for the best student/community/freeform radio station this side of the Mississippi, [http://wrfl.fm Radio Free Lexington]. I've got dual US/Belgian citizenship and speak dutch, the family business is [http://airphotoslive.com/ tethered-balloon aerial photography]. I'm in during summer break during 2008, and plan to be next summer and most of December and early January as well. I live out in The People's Republic of Falls Church. I ponied up for a key. David Lotts, another HacDC member, was a mentor of my [http://www.usfirst.org/ FIRST] robotics [http://www.team1418.org/ team] in high school. We're both still active, and hope to draw some of the FIRST crowd in to HacDC.

| I've got lots of free time this summer, and I'd be happy to help out if you've got things to work on. I come to HacDC with my [[Vast_VU_Meter|Vast VU Meter]] project in progress and the idea of an [[Electronic_Goban|Electronic Goban]].

| |
| * Programming
| |
| ** C/C++
| |
| ** Perl
| |
| ** Javascript (a bit rusty)
| |
| ** Many others, but I need to consult docs
| |
| * Fluent in Dutch
| |
| * Little bit of german and french (enough to puzzle out documentation sometimes).
| |
| * Basic robotics and control theory, using sensors and feedback to make things move and respond in real time.
| |
| * Pretty experienced Linux user/sysadmin.
| |
| * Music/Sound
| |
| ** Decent drummer, moderate limb independence, good sense of time.
| |
