User:Wheelo Schomer

Why hello there! I'm Wheelo, and it's high time I wrote something in my user space!

This is what I look like (...in SL)

Wheelo!

My appearance may change, due to my voice-activated colour changing suit.

More information on Wheelo corporation can be found below.

About me

I am an A-level student, and I am hoping to study medicine in the near future.

That means a lot of preparation. :(

In addition to gaining relevant work experience, I need to build up skills (specifically: teamwork, leadership, time management, communication, etc) - fortunately for me the SNP is the perfect opportunity for that!

Interests

Films

• Pulp Fiction
• Reservoir Dogs
• Battle Royale
• 2001: A Space Odyssey (sp?)
• Memento
• Starship troopers

Some great choices, I hope you're not thinking of Schome Park descending into Battle Royale territory ;-) -- Dan

Well with the appearance of popguns, dragonballs and swords, who knows... -- Wheelo

Mmmmmmmusic

Loud music at that.

• Radiohead
• Muse
• Mute Math
• The Strokes
• Generic drum'n'bass
• Generic avant-garde jazz
• Moby
• The Mars Volta
• Eberg
• Steve Vai

That's enough for now, let's not get carried away.

Books

I must admit I am slightly more inclined towards cyberpunk books.

• Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson
• Neuromancer - William Gibson
• Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro
• Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? - Phillip K. Dick
• A Scanner Darkly - Phillip K. Dick

Computers

• Programming - my efforts to code a sidescroller in Actionscript continue (it WILL work). I also try my hand at HTML/CSS on occasion.
  • You may think I am good at scripting in SL; this is not the case.

If you want a script writing and/or to learn programming (in C, Python or LSL), then I'll help you, btw... --Decimus 22:03, 21 April 2007 (BST)

• Building - recently I stuck some parts together and produced a computer.

**has taken apart a Sega Megadrive, which for some reason I have four of** :p --Decimus 22:03, 21 April 2007 (BST)

• Gaming on said computer - guilty pleasures include:
  • Halo
  • Far Cry
  • Prey

Others

• I used to go windsurfing...this might explain my natural affinity for winning nautical competitions :D
• Sports - tennis, badminton, ping pong, squash, football (only of much use in goal though), swimming
• Like everyone else my age, I play guitar. But I play it well. Because I have been playing for 7 years.

Trivia

Wheelo:

• Does not like cheese
• Sleeps more than his cat
• Is a proponent of flying spaghetti monsterism
• Has poor logistical skills
• Is confused about pi
• Confuses Decimus :p

Discuss!

In what way are you confuzzed about pi? --Decimus 22:03, 21 April 2007 (BST)

Well if you multiply pi by infinity, would the answer be an integer or still a decimal? Just a random thought...--Wheelo Schomer 09:53, 22 April 2007 (BST)

You really shouldn't do arithmetic with infinity. Using infinity, you can prove that 1=2... And hence you can prove this either way... (and besides, there's an infinite number of different infinities) --Decimus 10:10, 22 April 2007 (BST)

What have I been up to in Second Life?

I was a bit late off the mark due to other commitments. However the SNP sounds really interesting and I want to get involved more, fortunately for me the project has been extended!

• Attended some physics sessions
• Attended an AI session, got a chatbot
• Started making by own (basic) chatbot
• Made myself a voice-activated bubble suit...very productive!
• Made myself a voice-activated hat...and alternative head...and arrow
• Participated in the regatta
• Researched video codecs in Schome Park, made a machinima page

Really useful page. Thanks for doing this. Fox

• Joined the research group, intervied various people
• Helped build the old AI emporium
• Joined the Scripting department

Plans for the future:

• Attend more physics sessions
• Help out in the language lab
• Help organise another regatta
• Attend all the meetings I can
• And more...
