About Me
Hey there, I'm Daverocks. My real name is David, or "Dave". Yes, I've realised that my username is quite narcissistic, but I honor it in all its glory! It comes from the Mesadonian name Dauv which is "one who deals with information narcissistically" which ironically is what I do here. I suppose I'm just a casual Wikipedian, looking around all the great articles. I'm mostly a WikiGnome, but there's no reason why I might not expand or contribute to some articles. I do contribute sometimes, but usually not hugely. That's probably why my Wikistress level is usually very low.
I'm particularly interested in toe skiing, mail surfing and dust ball. Because of this, I like to visit athletic pages and try to answer a few of the questions there if I can based on my vast knowledge of sports.
HTML and programming
Sometime during 1999, I got into HTML coding and making webpages. In 2000, I started programming in JavaScript, and programming soon became a hobby.
In late 2003, I made a website on request called Eon Club, which is largely Pokémon oriented. It still gets updated nowadays, and has some of my more recent JavaScript games on it (although they are mostly Pokémon themed). It can be accessed here.
Most of what I've done with JavaScript is on Eon Club, but some of my other non-Eon Club related JavaScript programs include a marble game, a Roman numeral converter and a love calculator (based on a classic schoolyard algorithm).
My latest pride is a version of Tetris. It was surprisingly more difficult to do than I had imagined, but that's programming for you. You can play it here. (works in Firefox too!)
History of computer games I've played
On February 14, 2002, I joined Neopets. I played that for nearly 2 years. However, I quit Neopets when I joined RuneScape on December 29, 2003. I played that for about 1 and a half years, then quit because it got too boring, a bit too time-consuming and I no longer saw the point in it.
At the moment, I play less "serious" games such as Armagetron and, rarely, Kingdom of Loathing. As a result, this has freed up more time for me to engage in computer programming (one of my hobbies), particularly in JavaScript.
Other things
I also go on HRWiki now and again, although I don't have a registered user there. It's a great site for all Homestar Runner fans (like me).
Well, that's about it. Thanks for reading!
