Hi, I'm Holmedog

(Apparently I did this in the wrong order.  I'm supposed to share the info *THEN* the scripts.  Sorry, guys! Here's my intro!)

My friends call me John.

So, uh, who am I?  

Well, for starters I'm a UO player since '99.  I work at a large software company (not name dropping here), and I mainly got the job because of my experience writing scripts (Yes, I seriously sat one of my now managers down and showed him my auto farming script for UO at one point).

I used to be big in the scripting world about ~3 years ago.  I made a lot of good friends over at Askchopper before it kind of died.  Gimlet told me to swing by here if I ever started playing again, and so here I am.

My UO Experiece:
I was(am?) a bug tester for AC for years and years.  I am an active scripter by profession and hobby.  I play on GL and have a ton of characters.  I take breaks all the time, but this last one was the longest (~3 years).

Why do I macro?
It's fun for me.  I get my jollies by making things work, and something as complex as the systems in UO are very fun to work with.  

How did I find this place?
Old friends pointed me here

Why do I want to sign up?
To be honest, I don't know about this one.  I have scripts that do about 95% of what I've seen on here that I either got from the official easyuo site or that I wrote myself.  I surely don't need in-game money (I'm eRich I suppose).  I just enjoying writing scripts, and this seems to be the community that frowns less on my full-on-automation style of scripting.

Who am I IRL?
Software developer, divorced w/ 2 kids, 27 years old, small town Hickville USA.  I'm surprisingly boring ;)

Anything else, just ask!  I look forward to at least annoying you guys a bit around here with some random banter.

I forgot some actual gameplay notes, LOL:

When do I play?
Evenings, sporadically.  I have two daughters most of the time and so I'm not able to play as much as usual

What do I play?
Content up to ML.  I haven't bought in to SA just yet.  Maybe, if I stick around long enough

Where do I play?
GL

What templates?
Right now I have:
Sampire
Tamer
Miner/Smith
SpellWeaver
Archer

What guild am I in?
None

How long have I played?
Counting breaks, free shards (in the day), etc?  Probably a cumulative 6-7 years.  I didn't play beta, but I bought the game at release.  



And, as a very random note: The captcha to sign up on here is CRAZY.  It took me like 7 tries to figure out vertical meant "Standing upright" and not Make them vertically oriented.  *old man grumble*

Twenty seven with two kids?  Wow.  I'm way older than that and I wouldn't have been able to handle my two kids at your age.  Good on you, man.

Welcome.  I see you're dumping some of your personal library.  Nice to see someone contribute right from post one.

Hah, I started early (on the kids).  Had the first while I was a freshman in college.  5 and 3 right now.  They kind of just run the show when they aren't at their mothers.

As to the library, I'll post some more tomorrow.  I'm trying to get the feel for the site right now and I figure my AFKHunter is going to be my biggest contribution at any rate.

So I've heard :)  If I remember names correctly, there are more than a few people here from there.
