Hi, I'm Ian Smith!

Oh boy.. I guess after 3 years I better update this page, so here it is!

I was born in 1971 and I currently live in Erie, Pennsylvania. I work for ErieNet Inc. which is a regional ISP in the Erie and surrounding areas. We supply 56k, ISDN, DSL, Frame-Relay and PTP connections.

I spend most of my time programming, reading, lamenting the fact that is no longer being drawn. I get maybe an hour of TV in a month. I also hate writing this page because I don't know what to say.

Random stuff...

My favorite programming language is Perl.
The computer games I like are Half-Life and Starcraft. I think I am addicted to Half-Life TFC.
The best movie I have seen so far this year is The Matrix. I have a few issues with the plot, but what great effects and scenery.
Does anyone belive those guys with the brooms have anything to do with where the puck goes? I think they are just there to make it look interesting.
I recently took a trip to China. Hint: Bring your own toilet paper.
I watched Babylon 5, Voyager, The PRetender, Law and Order and lots of stuff on the Dicovery Channel before having cable disconnected.
My favorite sport to participate in is cycling. I like long rides in the country without a lot of insane drivers who want to run me down!
My favorite state to live in is the state of unconciousness.
I have two cats. No, you will not find pictures of them on my web site.
My favorite cat litter is Swheat-Scoop. Want pictures of THAT instead?
I hate Microsoft. So there.

Maybe I'll add more here later. Maybe I'll wait another 3 years to update it.
