   Hey all!
  Hiyas all!Nice to see a grand total of 4 members within hours of starting the group!I'm about to head out to a residents party marking the opening of a local bar/restaurant (I'm not really a  snob, I just fancy the free champagne!!), so I'll have to keep this short and sweet and update it later, but just to get the ball rolling why don't you all introduce yourselves here... I'll do the same next time I'm free (otherwise the girlfriend might start complaining!).Nice to see people taking an interest anyhoo!Cheers,Steve   
  Well my real name is Jack and I am currently taking a year out from doing Electronic Engineering at Southampton university. Nineteen years old with a girlfriend. My current aim is to try and cram more hours into the day so that I can actually get all my projects finished in this year out. It isn't working right though, people just keep inviting me on to other projects.Aims for year out:Make moneyFinish projectsBuy new hawt computerPossibly take a holiday if the money thing actually happensAlso for further reference http://omfg-forums.net/index.php?showuser=1  http://www.spreadinternetexplorer.com/user/1 http://www.last.fm/user/jmc2/ and http://stfuhonky.net/member/profile/1;Quote:Original post by iamwithstupidWell my real name is JackI'll claim that fact as well.I'll try and keep tabs on this group forum - but I'm liable to forgetting to check things due to to many other forums [headshake]Oh, and about me... Final year compsci at Notts uni. Not a lot exciting going on really - final year proving to require some of this stuff they call "work" [oh]Jack;  Thanks for the introductions so far :)As promised, here is a little about me:I'm 24 and work as an ICT technician for Nottingham High School.  I technically live in Sneinton, but spend a fair bit of time around my girlfriends house in Saxondale (near Radcliffe-on-Trent).  I'm working very very hard on on portfolio to try to get into the games industry as detailed in my other thread, of course, this is a juggling act between working as hard as possible and keeping the girlfriend happy by stopping work on it for long enough to say hello ;).  This of course would be much easier to do if games programming were my full time job as then I'd be able to spend time on other things at home (...or start another project!!).Anyhoo that is a little about me.I'd also like to say that I realise it will be difficult for people to check the forums here often what with projects on the go, social life, uni and what not.  I would however like to encourage members to post on the forum... post about anything you like and I for one can guarantee I'd be that bit more likely to help someone that is a member here than if it were a plain post in another forum, I'd consider that one of the benefits of the GD Gathering group is that we can make a little effort to look out for one another somewhat.Anyhoo... thanks for reading!Steve   ;  I'm Paul, I just turned 20 yesterday (noooooooooo) and I haven't actually coded anything for a while [cry] Too preoccupied with uni right now. I was writing a 3d RPG with my mate, but then I moved to Sheffield for uni and assignments started to roll in (noooooooooooooooooooooo.) Don't get much time on GameDev anymore either, although hopefully over Christmas I'll do some work on my LWJGL-powered 3d engine and get a demo going. Hopefully [grin]Good job with the group Mephs!
