Chris - also from Canada. I've been into computers since before I have memories as I'd always use my neighbours or parents friends whenever we visited.I got my first computer when I was probably around 6 or so. IBM Aptiva, Pentium 166 with 16MB of ram with a 1.6GB hard drive. It had that awful Mwave combo modem/soundcard
From then on almost my entire life was/has been spent on a computer. I was on IRC by the time I was 9, and writing mIRC scripts when I was 11 and it kind of just escalated from there. My only other interest other than computers is cars as well as car audio. I compete in the former every year for sound quality. I guess I'm kind of interested in my wifey as well. And my dog.
I have lots of interests in this industry and there just isn't enough time in the day. Over the past 10 years or so I've started a few companies which are all doing well to this day (but not well enough that I am writing this on a beach somewhere). We do on site IT support for business (we primarily support mac/pc combo offices since no one else can) with one, we do webhosting with another (shared, vps, and dedicated). I do web design and we offer web development with another company. I love all things tech and this industry because it moves so fast that you can never really get bored.
I don't really do much personally, I spend most of the time working. The only games I play are MMO's and I've played them all and I've played them all to the end. Currently raiding in WoW while I wait for the release of WildStar and hoping that WildStar is as good as the betas have felt. Sometimes I go to movies.
