Original avatar; it is still being used ~~elsewhere~~ in some places in da web

Yo!

First things first: I was born in 1977, so please work out my age yourself heh heh . My real name is Francis de Sales Pandu E Poluan (FYI, Francis de Sales is my patron saint [1] [2]. Yes, I'm a Catholic. You gotta problem with that?)

Okay, now that's behind me... um, I live inthe outskirts of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. I am familiar with computers since 11 y.o. (with videogames since 5 y.o. but that's a whole different story). My first computer was an Atari 800XL, then I 'graduated' to PCompatibles.

I am an Electronics Engineer specializing in Telecommunications Engineering, with special study of Data Communications / Computer Networks. I currently hold CCNA, MCSE, MCSA, and MCDBA certifications, and am pursuing CISA and CEH certifications. Naturally, with this qualification, I worked as a US Stock Options trader in my own company, which I established with 3 friends of mine: an ex-bartender, a doctor, and a tax accountant. Sadly, the company is now defunct. So I revert to my previous expertise and am now a Freelance IT Consultant. Tiresome job, though the pay is quite good

My first exposure to the world of Digital Audio is when CDs are first ~~created~~ sold in my country. Later on I got to know MP3. Never knew it's not the best compression, until I stumbled upon Xiph.org. Then I found HydrogenAudio. And, as they say, the rest is history.

Ever since joining I had wished to contribute to the HA society, and thus I decided to dabble in this Wiki thingy Hope my contributions are welcomed.

More De-Tales

I use ISO8601. You should too!!
I use Dvorak keyboard. Now almost as fluent as QWERTY.
I am active in Gaia Online <-- that's a forum where you can have anime-styled avatar that you dress yourself. I am known there as Doc Pepoluan (click to see my profile page).
Not married. Currently. Working on it. Some glimmering lights on the horizon now
Musics I like: Lately Trance/Rave/Eurobeat, courtesy of my... uh, ex. Also Bryan Adams, Cake, Linkin Park, and Fort Minor. Currently getting addicted to Anime soundtracks.
I don't really like FPS games. Or RTS games. Gimme Adventure & Simulations every time Currently wasting an unbelievable amount of time playing Civilization IV (BTW do you know it has one of the best soundtrack, ever?) and also Lara Croft - Angel of Darkness (yes, I consider that Adventure genre).
I program in Pascal, Assembly, then Delphi. Sometimes do VB and VB.Net. Currently dabbling in FreePascal & Lazarus, trying to make a POSIX-compliant OS wholly from Pascal
My knowledge of C is basic. C++ even less. Suffice to say, I disdain them.
My Yahoo!Messenger ID is pepoluan
My MSN!Messenger ID is pepoluan@hotmail.com <-- not my email address.
My current audio player, and tagger, and organizer... is foobar2000. But I still keep Winamp for lyrics editing
