Learn a Little More About Richard Slater

Graeme Arthur tagged me, normally I hate these things but this is kind of a reverse chain letter… sort of… maybe if i re-write the rules slightly.

Rules:

• Link to the original tagger(s), and list these rules on my blog.
• Share 7 facts about myself in the post – some random, some weird.
• Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.

7 Facts About Me:

1. At the time of writing I have been alive for approximately 871 million seconds.
2. I first started programming (in Spectrum BASIC) at about the age of 8 since then I have coded projects in [[Wikipedia:Visual Basic]], [[Wikipedia:Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]], [[Wikipedia:C (programming language)|C]]/[[Wikipedia:C++]], [[Wikipedia:Java (programming language)|Java]], [[Wikipedia:Ada (programming language)|Ada]], [[Wikipedia:PHP]] and [[Wikipedia:C-sharp (programming language)|C#]].
3. I have played [[Wikipedia:EVE Online]] for almost five years now, have been playing less often of late however I still get to enjoy the time I do spend in EVE, although it is getting increasingly more and more lonely in space.
4. I have been learning about [[Wikipedia:Sharepoint]] over the past few weeks, I have already completed most of the Microsoft e-Learning on the topic and read several blogs, I recently signed up to the Sharepoint User Group UK.
5. I wrote my dissertation on the future of [[Wikipedia:MMOG]]s, I disagree with a good proportion of what I wrote, however it was one of the most enjoyable parts of my Degree.
6. I type at between 40 and 60 words per minute, it has taken me 5 minutes to get to 300 words in this blog post, some of them however were copied and pasted from Graeme’s post.
7. Like Graeme I also play bass (albeit I play badly) and dabble in live PA, although I don’t really enjoy the later any more.

7 people to tag:

1. Catherine over at I Married You
2. Haly over at Halycopter
3. Tim over at Thoughts of a musing pedant
4. CrazyKinux over at CrazyKinux’s Musing
5. Winterblink over at winterblink.com
6. James Glass over at Outthere
7. Peter Arthur over at Robotii

I know the last two were on Graeme’s list, however I honestly can’t think of anyone who would appreciate it most of the blogs I read are a strictly one way thing. I was tempted to link JoCo, Felicia Day and Mark Russinovich – however I really don’t think they would appreciate it.
