User:GrowlZ

GrowlZ is a moderately active member of Graal's community and its staff.

Community

As a member of the Playerworld Administration Team, GrowlZ can usually be found on Graal somewhere. He also has a perfectly functional Graal Communication Center account, but only uses it to comment very occasionally. He is a mid-level operator on the GScript IRC channel.

Development Areas

GrowlZ is talented with many web-oriented languages, and demonstrates a sound comprehension of XHTML, CSS and JavaScript. He is somewhat worryingly proficient with PHP, in which he invents new data structures on a regular basis, and eschews traditional database-like systems in favour of vast arrays. He was rather good with GScript for a while, but decided to retire from Graal development for the good of his sanity.

In "real" languages like C and C++, GrowlZ is exceedingly good at shifting bits and bytes and manipulating things behind-the-scenes, but can't even draw a window properly. Do not expect a GrowlZ-brand utility to look nice; it's command lines and unhelpful messages all the way, buddy.

He does not use Ruby, Perl or Python, and has them all installed simply to act as a talking point.

Staff Positions

GrowlZ is presently global staff and serves as a member of the embattled Playerworld Administration Team. He was manager of Rudora for a while and worked as NAT Admin on Sanstrata back in the good old days of Graal prior to all this Trial Account and Ghost Mode mumbo-jumbo.
