History Tropers / Fishsicles

-> Immortality would be ''[[WhoWantsToLiveForever boring]]''?! Have you ''seen'' the last hundred years?\\
[[TheWorldIsJustAwesome Bohr's model of the atom, general relativity, black holes, quantum mechanics, other galaxies, the Turing Machine, the transistor, the polio vaccine, DNA, the Standard Model, the moon landings, pulsars, the Internet, extrasolar planets, cloning, the accelerating universe, the Human Genome Project,]] [[IAlwaysWantedToSayThat and the bloody Higgs boson!]]\\
[[SoYouWantToLiveForever How can you]] ''[[SoYouWantToLiveForever not]]'' [[SoYouWantToLiveForever want to see how all of this turns out?!]]

A half-Australian Minnesotan troper, a rising junior at Michigan Technological University studying computer science and mathematics with a minor in physics (or as he calls it, the Nerd Trifecta) who intends to move on to a [=PhD=] in computer science focusing on algorithms for quantum computers.

Intends to move on to a [=PhD=] in computer science focusing on algorithms for quantum computers. Writes some science fiction and a hell of a lot of code, though not enough of either as he would like. Might lean slightly into InsufferableGenius (and, for that matter, CelibateEccentricGenius) sometimes, emphasis insufferable and eccentric.

''The world is cold and meaningless, [[TheExistentialist so why not enjoy some]] [[TrademarkFavoriteFood popcorn]]?''

Currently working as a code monkey, although [[Music/JonathanCoulton not that big on Tab or Mountain Dew]]. I also dabble in writing science fiction; my primary influences (read: things I will never, ever be anywhere near as awesome as) are ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'', ''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes'', and ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''.

Since my website is still experiencing server problems, my troper page has [[http://sopastrike.com/strike gone on strike]] until 19 January 2012 in its place.

''Fishsicles, [[EitherOrTitle Or: Why Science Students Should Not Be Let Near Creative Writing]]''

A Minnesotan guy (currently residing in Houghton, Michigan) who writes software and {{lurk|er}}s, although less of the latter nowadays. Currently a computer science/discrete mathematics double-major at Michigan Technological University, minoring in physics to complete the nerd trifecta. Is known to possess a NiceHat.

I stick with "fishsicles" for almost everything I do, so if you spot the username there is a rather solid chance it was/is me. My actively maintained memberships are extremely fluid so the odds that I am still actively posting are extremely low. [[http://www.fishsicles.net I have a website,]] which is up when my server's ISP[[hottip:*:read "my parents' ISP"]] is being cooperative.

My current projects are ''Unfettered'', a science fiction novel written in English, and the Archon Engine, a turn-based strategy game engine (and eventually ''Archon'', the actual game associated with it, if I find a graphics guy) written in C++. I am also prone to talking about computers and my bizarre programming practices, so feel free to slap me through the Internet if I ramble on too long.

And [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore before you ask]], the name is pronounced "fish-sic-lls", like "popsicles" but with fish. [[NoodleIncident No, I do not know the story behind this.]]
