Howdy!
I'm an Urban Dead player who made a point of experiencing and delighting in as many aspects of the game as possible during his time here. I enjoyed having characters who led separate lives in some of the premier groups in Malton, created userscripts to enhance the game for myself and others, led or participated in a rather large number of in-game events of varying historical significance, wrote a handful of guides, and have gotten around the wiki quite a bit, first as a regular user, then as a sysop and bureaucrat.
Otherwise, I'm just a married software developer who lives in the Bryan/College Station region of Texas, USA, though I previously lived on the Pacific, Atlantic, and Gulf coasts of America, so I'm used to lots of sun and beaches. Despite living exclusively in Southern states, I never grew up surrounded by Southern culture, so Texas' take on Southern culture is something I've had to get used to. The place I'm living now is the furthest inland (140 miles/225 km), most elevated (360 feet/110 m), coldest (snow every few years), and hottest (weeks of highs over 105°F/40°C each summer) place I've ever lived.
I graduated from Texas A&M University, worked in the space industry, operated sound systems for live events for a few decades, did a stint in grad school, and assisted in teaching thousands of students subjects ranging from FORTRAN to ethics, though not all necessarily in that order. These days, my work has me managing teams of software developers as we create bespoke apps for engineers, lawyers, educators, and more.
I'm a Christian that holds pretty traditional and conservative values, but unless you ask me about it, this is probably about the only time you'll see me bring it up, just because religion isn't a topic that most people want to discuss while playing a zombie game. That said, if it's something that you have questions about, feel free to ask. I'll do my best to answer.
Besides my talk page, you can also click the link on the side to e-mail me via the wiki, or else you can hit me up over at my Backloggery page.
Oh, and my screen name is pronounced the same as "icon".
