Invision Power Services: Luke - Viewing Profile

I'm a computer programmer by trade, and focus on mostly web development (PHP/MySQL/XHTML/Javascript). I work primarily on UNIX based systems (Mac OS X, Linux), but have co-workers who love Windows to death (XP, not VISTA - nobody loves VISTA). I would like to learn cross-platform application programming (C/C++), but don't really have much time for it.

I do enjoy the occasional video game, which I usually get for the XBOX 360. My friends joke that I despise Microsoft so much, yet I have a Microsoft XBOX 360, and Microsoft SYNC in my car. I don't really have a grudge against Microsoft (they do some things very well), I just don't think they make a very good operating system or web browser (which stands for Is Evil, I swear). I wouldn't mind getting a PS3 someday, but I just don't have the time or interest right now. If I did get one, it would be for blue ray.

I have some interest in learning foreign languages, which I share with my wife who speaks Spanish fluently (I'm working on it). Perhaps someday soon I'll get to the point where I can also speak another language (other than English, and programming) fluently.
