User:Zyppora

Hello, I'm Zyppora, a 24 year old male from the Netherlands. I'm a tech college graduate and currently a fulltime software developer. I enjoy almost everything that involves computers. I have my creative moments on drawing, but they grow few and far between lately. I'm also a huge fan of anime, and I enjoy the occasional manga too. I love having a good discussion about all sorts of topics, politics and religion included. I consider myself an openminded atheist, but was raised in a Catholic way (up until the age of 13 or so).

Yep, I do software developing for a living. I currently speak C/C++, C#, Java, PHP, VB and some other crap. I'm pretty sure I can learn most other languages though, given a decent tutorial and API/Documentation. I currently do Java for a profession, and C# and PHP for a hobby. I'm only just learning C# though, still have lots to learn ^_^; But yea, I'm gettin there.

I'm a southpaw and damn proud of it! It makes me a minority and that gives me the right to complain :P Anywayz, I'm only 24 years old, so I never really had the whole indoctrination about writing with my right hand 'n stuff, although I did hold my pen in a weird way until I got a cut in one of my fingers and I was forced to pick it up in more natural angles ^_^;

W00h00! FireFox FTW! I know it's not the greatest thing out there, I know it's not perfect, but all you IE fanbois can kiss my lilly butt! Although I must say that 1.5 was better than 2.0 in many ways though (especially the annoying spellchecker *pukes*). Ohw well, we'll just wait till 3.0 comes out then and see what that's all about :)

I love Gmail! It just makes sense to me, I can't really describe it. It sure beats desktop stuff like Outlook or Thunderbird, and Hotmail (or w/e they call it nowadays) is very crappy compared to it (just think 'spam', you'll know what I mean). Besides that, 2+GB of space is just too good to be true, right? Well, it's true!

Lightweight, (almost-)full-featured, free software (although closed-source) that gets the job done. I mainly use it to download anime series/movies though, and sometimes CDs, but not often. Usually it's stuff that's either unlicensed or not available in my country though, so I'm not a ... aah hell, why try to justify it? Arr! I'm a pirate! :P

Hell yesh! Anime FTW! =^_^= My favorite would have to be Fate/Stay Night or Elfen Lied (or Bubblegum Crisis, or Great Teacher Onizuka or Witch Hunter Robin or Kannaduki No Miko or ... gods, I have too many -.-' ) I used to own 150+ GB of downloaded anime, but yea, much of it got lost. I probably formatted the drive, unknowningly taking down my precious collection with it T.T My poor parents are gonna complain about the bandwidth consumption again.

Yeppers, probably the most beautiful bishoujo in all of anime, and the cutest too. Mizuno Ami, or Sailor Mercury, from the Sailor Moon anime series. I guess I was a huge fan when I truly started appreciating anime and the more adult stuff (like Hellsing, Elfen Lied and Akira) weren't available to me yet. I've seen everything of this anime, including the specials, the Live Action and the movies. The only thing I really should get still, is the manga.

Well, I'm not a gamer, but of the current generation, I'd have to say I'd go for the Wii. That looks like so much fun! The XBox 360 hasn't moved me for a year, and it won't now. Sony though ... they're too cocky. I also HATE how the PS3 looks, bulky and dumb. Wii is slim, bright, simple and to the point. Nintendo FTW.

Well, I was born 'n raised in the Netherlands, so I guess this is my native language :)

My only non-native language on any level. I speak some words of German, even less in French and even less than that in Spanish and Japanese, so those really arn't worth mentioning (but I did so anywayz :P )
