Dann's Bio

BIOS - Dann Thombs

Name: My name is Dann Thombs. I usually just stick to 'Dann' as a handle, since I've never really given to much thought to it, nor been able to keep one. 'The man' is sometimes added by second or third parties, but I don't want to be that arrogant or egotistical, to add it myself.

Real History: I turned 20 in late July and am going into my fourth year of College; majoring in ISS (computer stuff), and minoring in biology. As for working, I'm currently employed part time by DSCWebSolutions doing web design.

Fake History: I started out way back when the web was young with a portion of a page linked to by an internal link. Fortuanetly I conviced my dad to have my own .html document, but it still looked pretty sad. I then moved to the free ISP provided page; but then my last name got registered as a domain, and I put up another sad page. Then I got the usual Geocities and Tripod pages, which began my Gaming related webmastering experience. (Note: These may or maynot still be up) Bumbling along trying to be noticed, I saw a logo contest for a little geocities page called The Daily Death and figured 'why not?',(Note: This page is now the RIYF league which in turn is not active anymore) so I entered. Following that I made some simple designs and was asked to join. I was there from Early/Mid December 1997. Then Far2Cool offered to let me work in this page, and it sounded cool, and I was there for a good while. Then the <10 meg of text files and small images hit the 1 gig/month limit due to large amounts of hits, and had to go down. During the Far2Cool time period and a bit after I co-ran the RIYF league, which was a clan where players of Half-life could band together and have organized matches. Unfortunately things didn't work out, but we got some cool site designs. Now hopefully, I've found my final resting place.

Real Life: I do get out once in a while, in fact I even try to limit my computer time. Failing or not, I like to spend time at a private beach near my house (avg water temp: 50-60 F, it feels warm to New Englanders under 30), and in antique shops. My music tastes have changed many times and are currently in Industrial/Techno/anything that has a good tune or beat. Artists include: 311, Tool, Rammstein, Metallica, KMFDM, NIN, Gravity Kills, Rage Against the Machine, Wu-Tang, DMX, Korn, Sevendust, Slipknot and Fear Factory.

Fake Life: When I am wasting time spending time on the computer, I work an various Flash creations, mainly to express my strange mind. (Visit the toons page). I don't play games too much, but Quake2, with Plug-in models and the Eraser bot was a hit, and Quake had many hours burned into it. As for old school games, when I didn't have to hear obscienities at every turn, from the games and the gamers, I enjoyed Captain Comic, Keen ( I registered that ), every Epic game and every apogee game. Rott was and still is my favortite First Person Shooter.
