Within this wall you will find links to projects I am currently working on. A collection of work brought together in one, difficult to spell location.

I have been tweaking the javascript code that powers this site. I recently made it a bit more object oriented by using this.functionName = function() {}; inside a "TransPanel" object.

The source is encrypted due to its leetness, however, I will be releasing it to the public under an MIT license. I would like to release it with a few more features and a HOWTO of sorts. I am interesting in expanding the parallax capability, bringing together three or more layers moving at different rates.

My name is Egon Hyszczak.

I am a lover. I am a fighter. I am a programmer. I am a web developer. I am a hardcore *nix ninja.

I specialize in Linux and BSD server/client development. Fluent in many different programming languages and Linux distributions.

• Java
• Lisp
• PHP
• Python

Unices that I know inside and out:

• Arch, Debian, Gentoo, Redhat, & Slackware Linux
• FreeBSD & OpenBSD

I include things like programming languages and operating systems in the about section because they are a major hobby and passion of mine. I am a tech-head — a "geek" if you will. I love knowing the ins and outs of technical systems. If I don't know how something works, I figure it out. My logic and problem solving skills have come from countless hours of pushing my knowledge and understanding further, where many others have promptly given up.

 

I love old adventure games.

• Monkey Island
• Kings Quest 5-6
• Quest of the Longbow
• Dagger of Amon Ra
• Quest for Glory 4
• Police Quest 4
• Return to Zork et. al.
• Diablo 1 & 2

The old school first person shooters:

• Doom
• Doom 2
• Duke Nukem 3D (Build Engine)
• Team Fortress (HPB Sniper)
• Quake 1 2 3
• Counterstrike (Beta 1-6)

Arcade games of the vertical scrolling variety

• Raiden
• Aero Fighters
• Super Star Soldier

I also love SNK in general and the artwork of titles like King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, and Metal Slug.

Been really digging Resident Evil 5 for Xbox in co-op mode on my friend Matt's six foot projector. We recently finished Army of Two. If only I had been a beta tester. AoT had a lot going for it, but there were some bugs that I am convinced kept it from wider acceptance.

Computer games were what got me interested and on my way hacking the planet. It is also where I would like to end up; an old fogie game developer.
