I'm Fiel, but you can call me Paul, Mech, or MechPaul. It doesn't matter. I'm currently 25.
My maplestory days started back in beta, and back then I did a lot of posting on GameFAQs. So, the Maplestory forum there has a special place in my heart. From there I moved on to Sleepywood. Once third and fourth jobs came out, I got interested in looking at the data. I posted extractions and guides for a while at Sleepywood. Soon after, I purposefully got myself banned from Sleepywood and started up Southperry. So, I'm Southperry's original CEO. Although I don't have any moderation or administrative powers like I did before (those now rest in Eos' capable hands), I still enjoy posting extractions and growing in my ability to program.
My interests are in languages, computing, security, reverse engineering, and information sharing. However, I also enjoy talking about theology, atheism, sci-fi, gaming, MMOs, and such. I also love SC2, and I watch GSL / MLG when I have time. I'm still a Platinum Zerg (though I have beaten diamond players), and I play casually. I'm also a HUGE brood war fan, and I follow that religiously. I have over 50 GB of Flash's games on my computer.
I got interested in programming back when I first went to college. I went to Purdue University originally for a computer engineering degree. In the first semester of courses, you were required to take a C Programming course. When I took the class I quickly became enthralled at how much control I had over what the computer did. The possibilities seemed endless. I never stopped learning about C, and I continued to program in my spare time. I currently know Python, C, PHP, and Assembly, but Python is definitely my bread and butter language. I wasn't able to finish my degree at Purdue, but I did eventually get an AAS in Information Systems.
Currently I work for ZAM Networks. Although I am not at liberty to say what I do on the job, I can say that I'm totally thrilled to be working with them. They're a good group of people.
I like to listen to metal, and I prefer death, tech death, thrash, power, and prog. Though when I'm not listening to metal you'll find me listening to K-pop, new age, and hard trance.
Although most of my posts on SP are highly logical and structured (or I try to be), I tend to loosen up a bit in IRC. Feel free to hop on in. There might not always be someone talking, so stick around a bit and I'm sure you'll find a good hearty conversation somewhere.
