Greetings and thanks for wondering around the landscape of A Shot of
Orange Juice.
Again, I know it's not much to look at, but there is only one of me
(currently.)
For the last four years, I was an undergrad Computer Science major at
the lovely Stevens Institute of Technology. While most kids stayed in
their rooms to play counterstrike or went home on the weekends, I made a
small amount of good friends and attempted to have a social life. Even
if that included some Diablo 2 time in between.
The first few
years were general computer science stuff, Data Structures, tons of
theory, but after all the core classes were taken I started doing
classes related to Game Design - Artificial Intelligence, Graphics, that
sort of deal, which were my primary interest when I started programming
in High School. My teachers would teach us languages and force us to use
them with different types of games, implanting the two in my mind
without much distinction.
My Senior year in college we had a project regarding for our Senior
Design class. My friend Rob and I decided to do a game (it was
recommended for the game design concentration area)
I'm currently developing at a company in NYC and quite happy at my work.
For those curious what exactly the origins of the website is. "A Shot of Orange Juice" is a reference to a badly made mixed drink. It can be phrased towards any bad drink, but works best with drinks made with Orange Juice. Most specifically a Screwdriver. Here's an example of use of the phrase:
Chris made the Screwdriver so strong I needed a shot of orange juice to go with it to appease the burning vodka flavoring.
