I'm a computer science graduate, and am now making video games. So, as one who spent all his time in the engineering buildings and never set foot in a classics course, I seem like an unlikely candidate for a classicist, but while going to school I became fascinated by Greek and began to teach myself. Then 2 years ago, with a group of others, I went through Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek. Immediately after completeing the book, however, I became occupied by my other studies, and finding a job. I intend to one day continue my pursuit of Biblical Greek and hopefully one day Attic Greek as well. More recently, however, as I've had more free time, I got a copy of Wheelock's Latin, and started teaching myself Latin. I'm up to chapter 24, and proceeding well. My current plan is to finish Wheelock's and perhaps read through some other grammars, and get a bunch of reading under my belt, before diving back into Greek. (Then maybe Hebrew, but I suppose that's a different website...
)I thought this site and forum seemed like a good place to get support and get connected with others. I look forward to getting to know you.

I always loved it when someone tripped near the card-reader and all their code went flying through the air. Good times...good times...
