Sigh
1. Is it hard to keep buzzard feathers clean?
Yes, after ~3 year exposure to the cauldron...the marks start to become permanent. <_<
2. Are you aware that understanding mathematical equations is a sign of a sick mind?
Pfft. My mind just happens to work better with equations and numbers than it does words. Its interesting to notice how some people can do really well in English but bad at maths...and vice versa. Then there are the annoying ones which are good at both.
3. Is it true that you started out as one of those annoying msn script kiddies? tongue.gif
Well, not exactly. After I had stumbled upon MSN chat (must have been sometime in 2001) I found a chat room known as \"Especially 4 Kidz\". After a bit of time I became a regular in there until it eventually ran out of steam shortly before the end of the year. At this point bots like \"Myth\" started to attract my attention...however I never really paid much notice to what the *could* do. Not long later, myself and one of the owners from E4K found some pretty impressive scripts. Hence begun the test rooms. It was actually a great load of fun. We join/create a room name \"Test\" (including ! and ~ until it was unique), give everyone in the room (plus those who join) +q. We then wait until someone decides to test one of their takes. It was amazing how many different ways there was to -q everyone. If someone else in the room managed to stop the take (+q themselves and -q the person taking)...they got quite a good reception for it. The were really so many ways to cheat. If you had a name beginning with A...you would be -q\'d first and had more time to +q. The guy I knew from E4K took this further and had \"Aa\" at the start of his name. I met a lot of people going from room to room. It was Sid (who I\'m sure some of you\'ll know) that taught me how sockets worked in mirc. His \"Direx\" connection proved to be an eye opener...minus the backdoor of course. It was an interesting period of my time in chat and a it has a lot more detail than what I\'ve said here. Since I joined TG chat when it opened (I actually left test rooms to join Nickman\'s chat room first..but TG came along soon after) I haven\'t been back in a test room.
4. Who is your favourite staff member to pick on?
If I get the chance...Ada. However that usually hurts...Shane is a lot less defensive

5. Is ner0 aware that you are plotting to take over his ice floe?
Ssssssssssh!
6. What made you decide to get into computers?
Another long answer. It started probably when my mum first brought home one of the computers from school. It looked a lot like [url=\"http://www.abc80.net/pics/apple_mac_128k_big.jpg\"]this[/url] so you can imagine it wasn\'t up to much. From their I got to know Apples more an more, eventually knowing where the god damn reset button was on the iMacs. Once I moved to Stirling, Apples weren\'t used at all...so I actually had to learn how to work a PC. I was then introduced to chat by someone who lived across the street...and I really haven\'t left since then.
7. Do you wish you would of learned some other lang. other then PHP?
Originally, I learned ASP before I learned PHP. I was good at neither, until I came to GG where my desire for something new lead my to PHP.
8. How does it feel, working with Adaera day in & day out?
I\'ll be careful here
/angel_not.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(not)\' />. Ada has so much enthusiasm for KN that working with her makes every little hurdle seem worthwhile to jump. There are many days when I don\'t want to do anything. Many days when I keep wondering why I\'m still here. Many days when I think that maybe we\'re not going about this the right way. If it wasn\'t for Ada\'s positive attitude both relating to KN and relating to my life, I probably wouldn\'t be here right now. KN owes her a lot...and I want to be part of it.
9. Where do/have you work(ed), other than KillaNet?
Does school count? I don\'t actually work elsewhere (despite the constant nagging that I get some money from parents). I have one year left of school and I\'m willing to sit that out and get a job when I head to uni. I\'m more likely to need the money through there

10. Why do you call yourself Vulture
At the [b]very[/b] beginning I named myself something along the lines of \"TheTotallyMadMentalGuy\". That was around 4 years ago. Quickly renamed to something with a helluva a lot of non-alphanumeric characters - ¹Š©ØttnÒthîntØÐÒwîµ³ (its been preserved on an MSN group). Once I moved away from E4K (see #3), I needed a name change. The idea was something slightly \"darker\"...which lead me to birds of prey. Vu|ture was the first one (the | stayed until pretty recently) I also came up with Event Horizon and HawkEye. My last one on msn was Antigen. Out of them all, I preferred Vulture the best and I\'ve kept it ever since.
11. Is there more than just a working relationship with yourself and Adaera?
<_< *Goes to modify audio\'s title*
12. What are your goals in KN and your life
I\'d like to take KN as far as possible. My life is a different story. I\'ve just sat my main exams which are used for entry into uni. Chances are I\'ll do a chemistry degree of some sort and its just a matter of time to see where that takes me.
