Who am I ?

Well, it's a good question ... thank me to ask me this ...

I'm a young graduated programmer from Belgium and i want to share you one of my hobby : Graphics programming ! Well, i'm not as good as John Carmack, Peter Molyneux , .... but I try to improve myself :)

I took part at the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2004 (Team New World) won the Benelux final and flied to Sao Paulo in Brazil for the Worldwide final !
We (me and my two friends) finished at the fifth place (over 36 countries).

The beginning...

First, there was nothing, then something appeared... it was the first message !
