Eee! You're a fellow Brony and you've named yourself after a good rifle! I can just tell we're going to be good friends! Have some Bleep-products! Don't drink Sea Turtle's hydrophobic water!
Hi all,
New guy here. Been lurking around PPC wikia for a few months (probably waaay longer, my memory perception of time is rather skewed) before I decided to join the community.
I hail from Singapore and have been wandering the western hemisphere (namely US) of the Internet for more than 7 years. I'm currently an undergraduate at DigiPen Institute of Technology Singapore, studying as a game programmer. Also, I'm an aspiring writer, but it seems to be getting nowhere (since I haven't write much, ever =/).
My current interests are:
- Gaming
- Reading (novels and fanfiction mainly)
- Programming
- Astronomy
My reading/media interests includes:
- Band of Brothers
- Tom Clancy (Ryanverse)
- Worldwar tetralogy
- Colonisation trilogy
- Homeward Bound
- Axis of Time trilogy
- Mass Effect tie-in novels
- Destroyermen series (by Taylor Anderson)
- My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Also, my ISP at home seems to dislike yourwebapps.com (or vice versa, I'm not really certain) so I can't post much here (posting from school at the moment).

How did you get into programming?
I'm trying to learn with one website & one book. I don't know anyone who knows much about computers.
Just curious.
I started to study programming after high school because I was interested in making games and the local polytechnics were offering game programming courses. Then after that, I went to DigiPen Institute of Technology Singapore.
What language are you learning right now? I can point you to some resources if you're keen on learning C/C++.
Right now, I'm working on JavaScript.
Any resources are welcome, though. Thanks. (Singapore...oooh.)
Also--any chance you'll be wanting to write PPC missions? It's cool if you aren't; I'm just curious.
Hmm, I'm only proficient in C/C++. I knew VB.Net and Java once upon a time but I don't really remember much anymore. =x
Yes, I'm planning to write PPC missions in the future and I'm current in the process of fleshing out my agents' backstory and searching for a badfic to spork. I'm a rather slow writer, so I'm not ready at the moment. =x
Slow writer, lessee, I've been here for about two years, and I've never submitted for Permission once, and they tolerate me pretty well, so I'd say no worries. Have fun, that's the motto...according to hS, anyways.
There is no official stance seems to be the official stance on everything.
Have a Holy Hand Grenade! (Don't use near rabbits - seriously, this is a biggie.)
Greeings and welcome! Have this near ancient pong machine! It doesn't work, but it does make an interesting conversation piece.
Thanks everyone! Love all the gifts! Agreed, Fluttershy is the best pony. She's so graceful... *Sighs*
Have a cookie.
Have this funny-looking plant I found in Everfree Forest! I'm fairly certain it's not carnivorous...
Have a glass of butterbeer. Good for what ails ya.
Hi, have some fudge!
Oh, and Fluttershy is best pony.
Greetings, new friend! Have an unwritten novel!
Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, won't you?
Hello and welcome, other newbie~ *new myself*
Here, have an oversized sheep plushie, courtesy of the Welsh government~
Ah, I remember seeing you in the chat. So, have an awesome-laced cookie.
Nice to have a fellow programmer here. For that, have a *pointer. I have no idea where it points, you should try that yourself. *hides*
Thanks for the cookie and pointer. *Pointer suddenly races off*
Whoa-
*Flies off in a puff of smoke*
Welcome to the Board! Have some of my hydrophobic water! Secretly used to power the Saturn V engines!
