About Me :

As you have guessed, my name is Otis Ranson. I'm a college student at a local university near me. I am studying Computer Science to become a computer programmer. I did take computer programming courses in high school, where I learned a majority about great programming practices and principles. I am just now getting to my upper level major courses and I am hoping the courses are going to be more interesting than the earlier programming courses.

Work Life :

I am currently working part-time as computer programmer. I use C++ daily in Visual Studio 2005. I do enjoy doing it very much as it is my goal to keep working as a computer programmer after college.

Fun :

I am currently working on a project that I am looking to release eventually. Obviously the project is still in alpha; Haven't even picked a title for the project yet (just dubbed HLMod for development purposes). This mod is something that I am working on in my free time when I really should be studying for school tests. Computer programming is my real passion!

Writing code isn't all that I do. I also play these damn games, of course! I'm a big fan of Q3A and I am incredibly excited about the QuakeLive to get open to the public. I played CS since beta and continue to still play it on occasion. I played TFC religiously for a while as well! I was a huge fan of MUDs back in the day, but then graphics got a little better with the evolution of OpenGL and DirectX. I play a mmorpg now, but only on occasion (Hell no it's not WOW!).

Thanks for reading!
