Hey folks,
Just realized that not everyone here fills out their "Location" field in their profile. Also, I'm always curious about the people behind the Para/FoD.
So... where in the world are you located? What do you do for a living? Me? I'm in Winnipeg, MB Canada, and I teach High School English Lit.

I'm a programmer for Visual Concepts. If you've ever played any of the sports games with "2K" in the name, we made those. We also made a few other things, like the recent Fantastic Four game. Of course, since I haven't been working there that long, I can't really claim to have had my own hand in those, but... well, I will for next year's games.
Oh, and location... Marin County, which is the part of the Bay Area north of San Francisco.

I currently live in the boondocks in New Hampshire (far northeastern U.S.). Not my choice of locales; I'm a city person.
I work with severely emotionally disturbed children and adolescents in residential treatment.

South Central Pennsylvania, U.S.of A.
Systems, Electronic Resources, and Web Librarian.
I answer research and reference questions, teach students how to think about information they find to support their academic work, and find better sources than the kid-next-door's bogus websites. I also dabble in finding newer and better (more easily understandable) ways to discover, display, and cross-link related information sources.
I was much better at Warlocks back when I was doing a lot of scripting and coding (during the time when the Archive was down)

Live in Kentucky, work in Cincinnati, OH. I support a cellphone company by taking the calls from the switches (cell towers, etc.) and reformatting it to a standard format for a billing system. I dream of becoming a developer again... Product support doesn't allow for much creativity.
So... My other projects (warlocks archive, and warbot) hope to provide me with some artistic creativity with code as my medium.

We're trying to get a percentage of the state playing - we almost had it, but the third person never got beyond creating a player.
