About Me
People know me as Goldfish - more often just Fish - and I am what many people call, a Hacker. Let me explain.
From the age of 6, I was fascinated with technology. At the time it was my Dad’s little word processing machine which you could program in BASIC if you wanted to. I moved to phones, the early mobile phones - BBSes and other dial in services which I began to explore with my Amiga 1200 and accompanying modem. I started to write code, in a number of cases to get the most out of the games which I had gathered. I had a bit of a flair in using graphics on the Amiga - sadly I cannot remember a lot of it. From that I moved to Macintosh’s, the Performa 5200. I wrote code on it, and played with sound editing and other such multimedia toys. From there I got my first PC, racked up huge phone bills and a geek was born.
I love to explore. Exploring systems to exploring the world. I love to find new and useful ways to do things, and overall I want to benefit the world as a whole.
I have varied talents, more than just with technology. I do quite a bit of comic art, when I can - I’m very into music and sound engineering as well as video editing - I’ve produced a number of videos. I’m a radio presenter on Hacker Voice Radio. I have an artistic streak in me.
I like to code things in C, C++, PHP5, Java or Perl. Occasionally I code stuff in Javascript just because it’s funny to do so.
So hopefully that gives you some sort of an idea about me. Though to be honest if you read a few of my posts you’ll get a much better idea of what I’m about than reading a page that I’ve created about myself!
