Welcome

to my home page. My name is Jim, aka Top Jimmy, aka Hookah

I'm 26 years old, I work on computers, and am by my own admission, a Geek. I am somewhat active in the Santa Cruz geek scene, and can often be found on fnet (aka ICB). I was graduated in 1992 from the University of California at Santa Cruz, with a Bachelor of Science degree from their Computer Engineering program. As a student, I worked at an internship position for Borland International, and continued there after graduation for 2 1/2 more years (actually for their subsidiary Borland Interactive) as a Quality Assurance Engineer. Borland Interactive was dissolved in early June 1995. After a couple weeks of not-so-involuntary vacation, I got a job at Thuridion as a Software Engineer. I'll be doing various flavors of Windows programming, and possibly some Unix or Mac programming.

Here are a couple pics of me - one in my natural surroundings (that's me, bottom-right), and one in my solitary confinement cell.

I recently joined with my pal Joel to form the second (third? 2 1/2? 2A?) incarnation of The Tower geek house. Then we duped our mutual friend Chad into joining us.
