about
About me, first of all. Just below is the old about me, which when i read it now is both out of date and quite amusing. I have moved on since then. Now i work for a company in the lanes in brighton called future platforms. I am a software designer/enginer, which is loads of fun. On the side i write games of all different sorts for differnt platforms. Just recently that platform was the GBA now i have moved on to the DS.
Also about me. Now i play in a band called 'her majesty's clockwork army' and i study wutan kung fu. I live with my girlfriend in brighton and make regualr trips to the frozen north to see my increadibly large extended family. Massive props go out to the hopper/murphey massive. I am now 22.
About me, about the website, about the universe, i dont know what you were expecting but i will start right at the begining. In the begining there was nothing, then some stuff happened which was rather unimportant, then i was born. My name is Thomas Hopper, i run trees of green and i am 21 years old. I am currently (as of 2004) a freelance programmer and some other computery graphicsy stuff. Whatever somone will pay me to do really. I just finished a 3 year CS&AI course at sussex university and i still live in brighton. I do manny things from photography to painting, from wutan kung fu to swimming, from Programming in C to programming in PROLOG, from listing to making music, from watching to making films, from playing to making games, from wearing to making cloathes. I do alot of stuff, mostly creating stuff, but i also like to destroy things. Like food for example. I love to eat, and cook(but thats also creating i think). I love science, although i am not all that great at it. Oh and i have "a specific learning dificuly" according to the government (hence all the spelling mistakes) but my dad just tells me i'm special. I love my dad too. I love lots of people. Theres plenty of love to go around. Oh i think perhaps i am rambling.
What i ultimatly want to do (right now anyway) is makes games profesionaly, i tried mobile gaming but the hardware was expensive and devtime was long and the handsets were slow. And now i am leanrning GBA programming using DEVKITADVANCE arm and thumb GCC compiler. Its woot, and alovley little bit of kit. I work currently(freelance) for runtime collective in brighton with my main man nic and graeme, and i am working on some stuff with my other man in tom flavel. respectgoes out to him.
I think i am done. If i missed anything important, like where i live and when i'm at home and how bomb proof my face is, let me know via the means of eminders. You can put out an eminder that will seek me via thom_at_treesofgreen_co_uk.
