About

I've been a computer hobbiest all my life. I spent one year as a CS major in college, but changed to International Relations after spending 2 years in Mexico. I'm a self-taught programmer. I've taught myself PHP, VB.NET, and C#. I do programming for both work and pleasure.

My current pet project is BatteryBar. It's a battery meter for your taskbar. It keeps historical data on your battery to provide you with a very accurate and consistent reading on how long your battery will last.
