Totally original thread tittle, I know.

So, my name is Near, and I'm named after this Death Note character, because I like anime and whatnot. I'm a second year university student, majoring in Computer Science, and well, I'm appropriately geeky ^^. Outside of that, I like to read (last series I've read was the Millennium Trilogy - go see the Swedish movies before the American ones start coming out next year - and I've been a Harry Potter fan since I was eight ), I work full time doing on-site tech support (I'm on an off term at the moment), I used to be a lifeguard, I love everything international sports (especially the Olympics), my first language is French and I'd say I'm usually pretty nice, if not shy.

So, what brings me here? In essence, I'm friends with Dan, and well, that's the long and short of it. Pretty much all of my knowledge of what SPD comes from him (heck, I didn't even know what SPD was before I met him). I'm essentially here to check out his website and learn a little bit more about SPD - a subject I still don't know all that much about (although I do know much more that the general public at this point). I probably won't post much here (not having SPD or taking care of someone with SPD myself, I have neither advice to ask nor expertise to share), though I might lurk or contribute once in a while. However, I will be spending some time on IRC: if you want to get to know me that's the place to do so. That's actually the main reason I got an account and posted an intro - so people might recognize me when they see me on IRC ^^.

Well, that's all for now folks. I'm opened to questions (I won't bite).
