Patching me and patching you

I've been coding for the better part now of about 15 years, starting in the good old Turbo Pascal 7 days, when I made my very first computer game ( my own version of Reversi / Othello) and I was hooked, through to Delphi 2009 (and higher, just didn't use it that much).

For the last 3 years or so I have been off and on using C#/ASP.NET (and even more recently Entity Framework and MVC) and I think it is TOTALLY awesome. Having said that though, I must admit that I will always be a Delphi guy at heart. I've dabbled in a few other languages and am always on the lookout to keep in touch with what's new in the software development scene.

When I am not coding, I keep myself busy writing short stories[^], partying hard, singing at karaoke (don't judge me!), trying to learn how to play the guitar and generally helping others wherever I can.
