About Me

If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm Nick Stallman.
You probably know me better as Cheater or Cheater512 when some bastard steals my name. :)

I'm a programmer and electronics hobbyist.

I've been programming for around 10 years and I know nearly every popular language.
Mind you there are a few languages on my shit list which I refuse to learn. :)
I most commonly use PHP, Perl and C/C++ and I dabble in C# when I need a cross platform app.
My shit list includes Ruby, Python and Lisp mainly.

I enjoy mucking around with AVR and its much more powerful cousin, the AVR32.
Two main reasons why I use AVR over others like Basic Stamp and PICs: The AVR has excellent GCC support and it also is significantly faster than other microcontrollers.
My NGW100 is a AVR32 and its just to muck around with. :)

I do freelance so if you have a programming or electronic job which you need done, drop me a line.
My rates are pretty cheap and are generally based on how complex a job is and not how much time it takes.

I'm 19 and I live in Brisbane, Australia.
I go to QUT (Queensland University of Technology) where I do IT.
And that sums me up pretty well. :)
