(This is a repost of a hello in the roll call thread - apologies if this is not appropriate).

Hello everybody!

My name is David York. I have been working full-time for a very large (massive) development house in Redmond for the last 2 years. As a developer, I was helping to develop the scanner and digital camera device driver infrastructure for the next version of said company's operating system.

I recently resigned to become a full-time Indie Games Developer. Game development has always been my passion, and it is about time I got into it professionally. I've been an amateur game developer since age ten, with a hiatus during the time I was working for the Gatesmaster.

I live in Seattle, WA USA. I've met some of the guys who attend the Indie Pizza meet at Round Table (Hi Mark! Hi Dan!). I'm super-psyched to have found this community - thanks for setting it up Steve!

There are a lot of very driven, very talented people here. I'm honored to enter your community.

Hey, welcome... I think going to indie pizza night would scare me... too many weirdos.

A very large (massive) development house in Redmond that makes operating systems?

Nope, can't think of any.

Thanks a lot guys! Now, time to start my first title and name my company. I was thinking about calling it Laughing Dragonfly Games, WildSnakeCharmer Software, or perhaps Retro65 ;).

Hey Mark, it looks like Joe just called us wierdos! Well... I guess I *could* be wierder...

Charmer?.. Charmer?.. :confused:
Yes, this recalls me something. Looks like we already were doing some Charmer with that CANON: http://www.microsoft.com/games/puzzle/ :D :D :D

So, it's already taken by summa of our efforts... :)
