I’m Shamus Young, a 34 year old software engineer and a happily married father of 3. In my free time I tend to play videogames, watch Anime, play D&D, and write software of dubious value. I also tend to write about these things here.
I don’t have any sort of degree.
You can probably extrapolate the rest by just looking around the site. I’m a stereotypical nerd. I’m the author of this Cyberpunk novel, and was the guy behind this politcal satire site.

Megatextures
A video discussing Megatexture technology. Why we needed it, what it was supposed to do, and why it maybe didn't totally work.
Chainmail Bikini
A horrible, railroading, stupid, contrived, and painfully ill-conceived roleplaying campaign. All in good fun.
Trashing the Heap
What does it mean when a program crashes, and why does it happen?

Dude, I hope to be your age and still do all these things.
It really makes me happy seeing there are people out there still who can appreciate the finer things in life!
keep it real !
Later.
Well, Shamus, I’m right about your same age, trained as a radar electronics technician but currently working in photographic equipment sales, happily married father of 1. Obviously, with similar interests, of course.
Nice to see I’m not the only ‘grown-up professional’ that still finds time to ‘play’.
Has anyone ever told you you look like Bill Gates?
Hysterical and endearing.
