About Me

Valerie, Vince, and Elisabeth (2006)

My Name is Vincent Leo Damewood. I live in Portland, Oregon, USA. I'm currently between jobs. I was the assistant to the chair of the School of Information Techinology at ITT Technical Institute's Portland campus until March 8th. I lost this job because it was a work-study position, and March 8th was my last day attending ITT Tech. I'm looking to replace it with a job either as a web developer, programmer, or network/system administrator. (Feel free to have a look at my resume.)

I graduated from ITT Technical Institute with a bachelor of science in Data Communication Systems Technology, March 26th. I also have an associate of applied science in Information Technology—Computer Network Systems. My major hobbies are computers and music. I play the guitar and the recorder, but it's been a while since I played either for an extended period of time. School can have that effect on one's free time. My favorite computer systems to work with are Unix-like systems such as Linux and BSD (especially Macintosh OS X).

Music

In the world of music, I'm play classical guitar. Additionally, I hope to learn to play flamenco, and new age. I also play the occasional pop and rock song. I'd also like to learn to play the lute, but they're too expensive for me to get one any time soon. My favorite kinds of music are new age, electronic (especially trance and house), and alternative rock. The only music I don't like listening to is Tom Jones and Gangsta rap.

Computers

In the world of computer, I like web development, and programming. I first started to learn to program when I figured out how to get the example BASIC programs in my elementary-school textbooks to run. I started Web Development back middle school. I've written programs several different languages, but I preffer Python, C++ and Java. I also like to work with SQL databases, and do web development with PHP.
