Hi, My name's Barak (almost like the current American president) and I have been active on steemit for about a month now after my dear wife @techslut introduced me to it.
I'm 40 years old and have recently returned to working as a programmer after determining that a career in graphic design is not really feasible for me.
I still do graphic design as a freelancer and I'm proud to say I have excellent Photoshop skills.
I'm interested in photography and art (I have a B.Ed with a specialization in photography). Sci-fi and fantasy are also among my fields of interest and I am a veracious reader. I still play D&D and Shadowrun and I enjoy board games, especially co-op ones like Pandemic and Arkham Horror. I have an exceptional memory for trivial details like movie lines and a dreadful one for people's names.
I'm the shy one in the family so I do not find it easy to put myself out here and participate, but I hope to be able to share some of my work and musings with you. I'll be happy to answer any questions about my fields of interest.
[NOTE: I have used @sykochica excellent introduction template. Thank you.]
I'm stoked to see you on here with your wife! Wish you both the best of success!
And glad the template was helpful!! :D
Finally I managed to force him to do it. And didn't photobomb his selfie!!!
welcome
Thank you
I am so happy to see you finally officially here. Good luck, love!!! <3
Welcome I have not found them myself, but I am thinking there are lots of technogeeks here : )
Thanks. I'll keep my eyes open.

You're welcome.
Welcome buddy :) and good luck :)

Hey MrLighting, I often post about roleplaying games, and love D&D and Shadowrun -- Excited to have a fellow sci-fi/fantasy fan here. Welcome!
glad to meet you and thanks
Welcome to Steemit, hope you will enjoy your time here! Your interests align a lot with my own. There are a lot of us technogeeks in the Steemit community. What kind of programming do you do and what languages? I'm a C++ guy myself, though I also dabble in Java and Scala from time to time. And anyone who's into D&D gets a thumbs up from me! Been years since I've actually played it though.
I work with the QAD Cloud ERP system (formerly QAD MFG/PRO) programming using the Progress Software Corporation's Fourth Generation Language (4GL). It was nice to find I still remembered the basics after more then a decade of doing graphic design and no programming.
It is good that you remembered the basics and were able to pick it up again without too much trouble. I find that I tend to forget stuff fast if I don't use it for a while; my brain is geared more towards short term memory. Luckily my friend Google is always by my side to remind me of forgotten syntax, etc as needed, so I don't have to lug around all those reference manuals I employed in my youth. ;-)
Awesome! I'm new here too. Great to meet another geek. :) Have fun.
Welcome in the community. Let the Steem god of wealth look upon you with mercy :D
