&lt;p&gt;      Here&amp;#39;s the link to my Gaia profile: &lt;a href="http://apollia.gaia.com/" target="_blank" title="http://apollia.gaia.com/"&gt;http://apollia.gaia.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m 26 years old, from Ohio.&amp;nbsp; I guess probably the most notable thing I ever do is work on stuff for my personal website, &lt;a href="http://astroblahhh.com/" target="_blank" title="http://astroblahhh.com/"&gt;Astroblahhh.Com&lt;/a&gt;, though I haven&amp;#39;t been putting new stuff up that frequently lately.&amp;nbsp; You can get an idea of various of my interests and skills just by looking at that site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope to somehow, someday be able to make a living via my slowly improving computer programming/web design skills and hopefully even my website itself.&amp;nbsp; Actually, I&amp;#39;d like to do much more than make a living - I&amp;#39;d like to get extremely rich, and I&amp;#39;d like to see poverty totally alleviated worldwide within my lifetime.&amp;nbsp; I know it&amp;#39;s not very likely, but, whatever, it gives me some goals to work toward which are likely to keep me busy for the rest of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know, with varying levels of proficiency, some &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Html" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Html"&gt;HTML&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets"&gt;CSS&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript"&gt;JavaScript&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Php" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Php"&gt;PHP&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysql" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysql"&gt;MySQL&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl"&gt;Perl&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inform" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inform"&gt;Inform 6&lt;/a&gt;, as well as some &lt;a href="http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=HomePage" target="_blank" title="http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=HomePage"&gt;LSL&lt;/a&gt;, the scripting language within &lt;a href="http://secondlife.com/" target="_blank" title="http://secondlife.com/"&gt;Second Life&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; In the future I hope to learn some &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_%28programming_language%29" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_%28programming_language%29"&gt;C&lt;/a&gt;, and maybe &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_%28programming_language%29" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_%28programming_language%29"&gt;J&lt;/a&gt;, etc. - as well as get much better at the other languages I already have been using.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been using the name Apollia on the internet since 2003, so, it&amp;#39;s not just my Second Life name.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s the only internet alias I&amp;#39;ve come up with that I have really wanted to stick with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I don&amp;#39;t have the artistic skills to draw or paint my own user icon picture, and I don&amp;#39;t really feel like putting my own real picture on the web, using my SL avatar picture as my user icon on various websites is convenient for me.&amp;nbsp; No, I don&amp;#39;t look just like her, though I wouldn&amp;#39;t mind if I did.&amp;nbsp; :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glad to be here. &lt;/p&gt;
