O: Another programmer! What kind of programming do you do? What languages do you know and/or are learning?

My degree is in computer engineering, so most of the programming I do is hardware oriented, so most of what I'm experienced in is microcontroller and systems programming. But I've done a bit of everything. I was working on an NES emulator a while ago. I haven't had time to get back around to it yet, but it was a really cool project and I'd like to start it back up whenever I get the chance (I also have a link to the source code on my GitHub if any fellow programmers are interested :)

I know, in order of expertise: C, C++, Java, various Assembly languages, Perl, and Fortran :D I've never found any particular use for Fortran, but I learned it for a programming challenge that my old job was holding at OSCON :)

why are you black? how did you make your choice to be black?

Actually, I think my hue is closer to brown :P How did I make my choice? Before I was born I flipped a coin. It was between this and being a North American wood worm. Overall I'd say I'm happy with the outcome of that particular gamble.

Here's a question I think you might find interesting:

After being slightly turned off from Pokémon by Black, and having already played Y, what did you think going into White 2? Had you already heard bad things about it? Did you go in expecting it to be even worse? What do you think made you enjoy it even moreso than Y?
 
Actually, I had very high hope for it going in. I already knew that it fixed most of the things that I didn't like about BW, which are that it was too linear, too story driven, and not enough post game content. And I knew that there are a lot of legendaries available in the post game, so I was excited to catch them so that I could bring them forward to Pokemon Y when Pokemon Bank came out. In the end it exceeded my expectations.

I think I liked it more than Y because honestly, I don't think Y was all that good. It was a great experience on my first playthrough simply for the novelty of playing Pokemon in 3D, but once that wore off the game felt kinda boring. I'm hoping Z will be better in the same way BW 2 was an improvement over BW.
