I guess I should put some info here.

By the way, my 'nick' doesn't mean what you probably think it [http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/translation/Vulcan/imroy means]. If you want to address me by my real name, you can call me Ian.

* [[Unix]] and [[Linux]]: I've been using Linux as my sole workstation and server OS since early 1996. I administer my family's small network with several Linux servers and Windows desktops.
* [[Computer graphics]]: I'm interested in [[Ray tracing]] mostly, the more realistic the better. I've used Greg J. Ward's [[Radiance (software)|Radiance package]] for many years now. I especially don't like [[Scanline rendering|scan-line renderers]] like REYES.
* [[Photography]]: This originally overlapped with CG in some ways. I have an old 1.3MP digital camera ([[Kodak]] DC240) and two manual 35mm cameras ([[Ricoh]] KR-5 super II and XR-20sp) I bought off [[eBay]]. I have a [[Zenitar]] [[fisheye lens]] and a few other lenses, including some old [[M42 lens mount|M42]] lenses that I can use with an adaptor. I also have an old [[Soligor]] spot meter and a bulk film loader. I got into developing B&W film last year but haven't done any in a while. In early 2008 I got a [[medium format (film)|medium format]] Pentacon Six camera and it's been keeping me occupied.
* Programming: I mainly program in [[C (programming language)|C]]/[[C++]] and [[Perl]] nowadays. In my younger years I started on [[BASIC]] and [[Logo (programming language)|Logo]]. I started using [[Turbo Pascal]] around year 10 in high school. I also started using Turbo C++ in (IIRC) year 11 or 12, but didn't get very far with it. I learnt C and C++ properly in University and it was around that time that I found [[DJGPP]], a port of the [[GNU]] tools to [[DOS]]. I was also pretty good with [[x86]] [[Assembly language|assembly]] in Uni, and the [[MIPS architecture|MIPS]]-like architecture described by Patterson and Hennessy. I guess I know a fair bit about the inner workings of CPU's.

== Work ==
=== Things I've started ===

* [[Yashica Electro 35]] and [[Yashica Lynx]]
* Most of [[Pentacon Six]] and [[Pentacon Six mount]] after another user started them as stubs
* Move chronology from [[Single-lens reflex camera]] to [[History of the single-lens reflex camera]]
* Clean up [[:Category:Photographic films]] by sorting articles into more specific sub-categories:
** [[:Category:Photographic film makers]]
** [[:Category:Photographic film markings]]
** [[:Category:Photographic film processes]]
** [[:Category:Photographic film types]]
* [[Available light]] since a few photographic articles redlinked to it
* [[Ilford FP]], including box artwork
* Merge [[selenium toning]] and part of [[sepia tone]] into [[photographic print toning]]. Added some info from an Ilford document about toning
* [[Ilford HP]], including box artwork
* [[Ilford Delta]] and [[Ilford SFX]]
* [[Template:Infobox Photographic film]], as suggested on [[Talk:List of photographic films]]. Added it to a bunch of photographic film articles. Hopefully this will encourage people to add more information, because some of the older films didn't have much.
* Moved GLEW to [[OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library]] and made [[glew]] a disambig page with the non-OpenGL information.
* Merged much of [[Night photography tips]] into [[Night photography]] in a more encyclopaedic tone. Also added a 'Subjects' section.
* [[Ilford Photo]] with content from [[Ilford]] about the photographic company. Added a list of products and uploaded a logo for the page.
* Merged [[Film scanning]] into [[Film scanner]] and made the first a redirect to the second. Now I need a generic name to use for [[Digital ICE]] and other similar technologies.
* [[Radiance (software)]]. Yay! My first page.
