==About Me==
Hey there, I'm Daverocks. My real name is David, or "Dave". Yes, I've realised that my username is quite [[Narcissism|narcissistic]], but that's the username I've used almost universally for a while, so I'm not planning to have it [[Wikipedia:Changing username|changed]]. I suppose I'm just a casual Wikipedian, looking around all the great articles. I'm mostly a [[Wikipedia:WikiGnome|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 [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikistress Wikistress] level is usually very low.

I'm particularly interested in [[mathematics]], [[science]] and [[computer science]]. Because of this, I like to visit [[Wikipedia:Reference desk/Science|the Wikipedia Science reference desk]] and try to answer a few of the questions there if I can. It's also great to read.

==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 [http://www.eonclub.tk/ here].

However, my main generic website is located [http://users.bigpond.com/apollack/daveweb here]. It can also be accessed through the shorter [[URL]] http://www.totaldave.tk/.

Most of what I've done with JavaScript is on Eon Club, but some of my other non-Eon Club related JavaScript programs include [http://users.bigpond.com/apollack/marblegame2.html a marble game], [http://users.bigpond.com/apollack/romanconverter.html a Roman numeral converter] and [http://users.bigpond.com/apollack/lovecalculator.html 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. [http://users.bigpond.com/apollack/eonclub/poketet.html You can play it here]. (works in [[Mozilla Firefox|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==

[http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/index.php Political compass]:
* Economic Left/Right: -1.50
* Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.03

[[Skype]] name: daverocks5

I also go on [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page 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!
