An Introduction, I suppose

So, I've been around for a bit but never really introduced myself, and I've watched a lot of other people make blog entries and stuff and realized I didn't talk much about myself, and figured I should introduce myself a bit.

I'm Alex, but you probably already knew that. I'm a 16 year old American who's going into his Junior year of High School in a few weeks. I mostly take GT/AP classes, and get pretty consistent A's (except for Latin - fuck you, Latin). Outside of school, I love programming, and am a member of a robotic's team as one of their lead programmers. I've been studying programming for 4 or 5 years now; python was my first language, but I've learned Java, C, C++, C#, Ruby, JavaScript, as well as other's I'm probably forgetting to mention. Other things I do on the computer is participate in a lot of different internet forums and chatgroups, as well as watch a shit ton of anime.

Athletically, I love to run and ride my bike, and am planning on participating in a half marathon sometime soon. It's something that gets me out of the house and away from my computer.

The 3ds scene was my first scene, and I joined it after I was introduced to a custom theme on the /r/Saber subreddit, and it's all spiraled downhill from there. In the relatively short time I've been involved (I got in near the end of the 10.3 downgrade wave), I think I've done a lot. I moderated the 3dshacks discord and subreddit, but quit due to the constant power struggles and general immaturity of the community. I've gotten involved with a lot of really awesome developers and learned way more than I thought I ever would going in, and learned a lot of programming even for non-3ds related things.

So, uh, I guess that's my introduction. If you want to know anything more about me or my interests, just feel free to ask, I'd love to talk with you guys and get involved with the community here more!

Wha- I did notice him. Hence my point.
Youre the same, you feel like you've been here forever but I also remember welcoming you recently which works is confusing :wacko:
 
I know, End of may, friday, may 27 2016 :D
You were there in the introduction post i made, first one ever.

Don't have to be a age gap for the account to make a intro post, is specifically what is supposed to be. Introduce yourself. That what you did here. Nice to meet you alex. :P

@Darkyose, funny coincidence that we joined temp on the same day :P No idea why I chose this username, I've been using it for a few years

@Ramzh, for a long time I had literally nothing better to do than learn how to program, with enough time it's something that a lot of people can learn how to do. Good luck at university :)

You're one of my fav members on GBATEMP and Reddit, I legitimately thought you were an older user! You definitely got a natural talent for this kind of stuff. Glad you're still around and here with us. Very memorable user that I respect.
