Who am I?

Mark Gordon — Tue, 28 Mar 2006 19:32:00 GMT

I am Mark, the Great and Powerful¹, revered and feared throughout the great blue nowhere.

I am Mark Gordon, 17 years old, and currently attending Churchill High School in Michigan. I am part of the Math, Science, and Computers program that my school runs which makes everyday... uh... interesting. Whether it be hopscotch on the desks² in the computers room, or dancing to moskau³ (projecting the movie on a wall of course), we try to have fun.

As far as programming goes, I started on VB6, then moved to C++ and Java. I kindof know how to use VB.Net. I love working with WinAPI and sockets and geometry. Alot of the code I post will likely be on those subjects. I also like to write algorithms, so I try to participate on TopCoder⁴ as often as I can. (which hasn't been often lately, but I plan on doing the one tommorow)

Most of the code you will see on my blog will either be in C++ or VB, or maybe even Java. (or in the case of Aaform, a whole lot of languages)

Side Notes⁵

1. I prefer to go my “Mark, the Great and Powerful“ in order to avoid confussion with the other Mark (drydo)

2. This was quite the incident, a certain individual was jumping around on the desks when he slammed his head into the metal projector mount hung from the ceiling. Before getting a paper towel to cover his head, he managed to bleed quite a bit. I believe the story was that he accidentily fell and hit his head on the corner of a desk.

3. This resulted in some detensions when the teacher walked in.
