The beginnings

Hi there, welcome to my little corner of the webniverse.

I'm Warren Skaalrud, proud father of three children and a beautiful wife, all young in age while I am not :) I have two girls and one son... yes... I'm done :) I love them all but 3 is perfect!

As you can see by my site name I go by Skully. This name comes from the CB days and has been around for over 50 years. I think I'm Skully6 really, but I dispise putting numbers after my name which is why I often have to go by Skullyman instead.

I'm a network specialist by trade, following a 14 year career as an electronics technician in the Canadian military. I've worked at all layers of the network and am now managing others doing what I used to do.

My hobby and passion is computer games programming and my language of choice is BlitzMax. I'm currently working on a 2D platformer engine so I can make a semi-educational game for my kids. After that I have something a whole lot less innocent planned but one thing at a time...

When I'm not looking after my family, or working, or programming my game, I'm doing handyman chores or helping my father-in-law's business installing floors... you know, carpet, linolium, laminate... How do I manage my time? God I don't really know.. I just take it one day at a time and try to get the balance right. My wife will tell you that I don't always get it right... but she sets me straight when I steer off course :) She's my sanity.

Well, thats my intro for now... I want to see how this shows up on my blog :)
