Hi there, my name is Daniel, known as _dan on IRC and as
dan to my family and friends, this page is my first attempt at
so please be patient
with me...
A little bit about me:
I am 39 years old and originally from , Canada, I arrived in
South Africa November 8 1997 (my birthday) from a little town called Bolton Centre
in the Eastern Townships to visit a girl (her name is Karin) that I had met on Austnet in
March 97 her nick was karin26 then and now she is called ikati, well to make a long story
short, Karin and I have since married and are living in Johannesburg in South Africa where
the future awaits us.
(may the force be with us while we're at it hehehe)
I am very much interested in computer technology and anything related to computers, mostly pc's and mac's though... and the people who use them specially for designing graphics using the likes of Adobe Photoshop (the best image editor around) or animation and/or modeling software like 3d Studio max, SoftImage, Lightwave, Strata Studio Pro, Infini D or Form Z (the best solid modeler around) to name but a few...
I was until recently an Apple Macintosh user and a big fan of the whole 'mac thing' blablabla, I sometimes miss my mac (I had a PowerMac 6100av then a 7200 and last a 7600) specially when Windows95 crashes or whatever (Windows NT is on my Christmas shopping list btw) never the less to use a 'PEECEE' - you must SUFFER a little bit I suppose hahaha - so here I am, now I use a Pentium II 266mhz with 128mb of memory a Quantum 4.3gig HD plus a 17 inch monitor which makes it easier to read the 'system error' messages DUH, I finally received no thanks to some people I will NOT mention here my Diamond Viper v330 AGP screen card after waiting for it for MONTHS ok ok enough bitching... (which will let me see the error messages display FASTER I suppose) ok... enough sarcasm for now...
This page contains Links to some hardware and software companies that I think are worth looking into, also I have included some links to some interesting stuff that you just might need or might want to give a try, like Quake2, Cheats, Utilities and other gadgets and gizmo's that just might help take up more space on your hard disk hahaha... oh well.
So I hope you will find something here that suits your Fancy or anyhow wont disturb you too much mentally.
I could not sleep at night if I didn't include a link to my wife's homepage and some friends of mine and my wife: Renata, Pietman.
ps: these pages will ALWAYS be under construction... (like life you could say)
have fun and remember!!! (Frank Zappa)
