    (Originally from San Luis Potosi, Mexico)

    Age (optional):
    28

    What first got you into metal?
    It started with what is know as "mexican national rock" which was fairly common where I grew up. This was the door that opened up a world of music for me. From there I got into classic rock, then into thrash metal, and eventually into the vast number of metal sub-genres.

    Play any instruments?
    Sadly, no. I did try to learn guitar once but never really kept at it, so I never learned. I'd like to learn to play drums now!

    Top 5 bands?
    Amon Amarth
    Tierra Santa
    Led Zeppelin
    Immortal
    Therion

    What do you do?
    I'm a field technician for an Oil/Gas service company

    What deck are you on?
    I can't remember :( BUT I am in one of them, doesn't matter, I'll be there. Wooh!

    What's a creepy thing I can say when I see you that no stranger should know and will weird you out that I do?
    That I wear my underwear inside-out during concerts as a good luck charm....

    No, i'm kidding, but that does sound pretty cool. Actually, I don't know... I'll have to get back with you on that one.

    I am Danica! Last year was my first year, and I can't WAIT until next year. I am half asleep and shall try to fill this thinger out the best I can.


    City/country:
    Calgary, Alberta, Canada!

    Age (optional):
    26!

    What first got you into metal?
    My Mama. She's a metalhead, so I grew up with it. Never really known anything else :D

    Play any instruments?
    I am positive that I could play a mean tambourine. But no, no I don't.

    Top 5 bands?
    Good god....
    ummm...

    Korpiklaani
    Sonata Arctica
    Sabaton
    Alestorm
    Finntroll

    Maybe... I don't know. That requires much more thinking than I can currently handle.


    What do you do?
    Photography (mainly Fetish and Gore), and Chain Maille. I am also currently in school to learn all the fun stuff to do with running a business. A friend and I are opening up a Fetish shop.


    What deck are you on?
    That's a wonderful question.
    K. I think.


    What's a creepy thing I can say when I see you that no stranger should know and will weird you out that I do?
    I have no idea. It's fairly difficult to creep me out. I also have no shame. I get called 'That Red Haired One', and apparently last year I was being calle 'The Red Ball of Energy' because I find it quite difficult to calm down or sit still.

    2015 Wishlist: Sabaton, Metsatoll, Nightwish, Hammerfall, Heidevolk. I dunno. More Power Metal, More Folk Metal!

    Oh HELL yeah, someone else from Georgia! Raf M. and I are from the Atlanta metro! :deathhorns:


    Hah, how've you been since ProgPower, Paul? I've seen a few of your posts around and just kind of chuckled to myself. You've been at probably 8 or 9 out of 10 metal shows I've been to in Atlanta.

    Hm, I wonder if I know Raf M, too? Does he usually show up at all the prog/power/folk/thrash metal shows at the Masq?

    Good to see you found your way. So far I'm having fun as a Software Engineer - or rather, I should say, as a Business Intelligence consultant. Whenever I get bored of it it will be time to think about something else, too. You're still invited to the Software Engineer meetup :D

    Good to see you found your way. So far I'm having fun as a Software Engineer - or rather, I should say, as a Business Intelligence consultant. Whenever I get bored of it it will be time to think about something else, too. You're still invited to the Software Engineer meetup :D


    Coding is so much fun :cool: what languages do you use in your work?

    A whole lot less money, a whole lot more getting up silly early in the mornings, a whole lot coming home with cuts and burns
    A whole lot more fun!
    yay

    Right now I'm working with QlikView, which is basically a combination of other languages. The queries are very SQL-ish, for instance. I think it's a very interesting world, but I'm rather new at it (I've been working in this field for little more than 12 months). I've been with C, C++ and PHP in the past, too. And you?

    A long time ago I did stuff with Python and Ruby but now it's been completely C++ (in the future, my industry is heading toward C#) and a little bit of MATLAB and LaTeX for side projects. Been wanting to learn some Java but never got around to it.

    I always promised myself I'd learn LaTeX some time in order to write at least one of my Thesis but never found the time or motivation :D and I used some matlab back in University, I must admit I hated it :D

    Yeah, working toward a Ph.D in mathematics is my main motivation for learning them. I'm not much of a fan either :lol:
