William W. Kimball, Jr.

Here, you will find some facts about
William, samples of his artwork, and
his favorite web sites.
Facts
William is:
- ... a programmer of many years (started in 1985 on a Commodore PET 64).
These are only a few of his projects that currently have
a web presence. Being on the web, they are either Open Source or
other publicly accessible web sites. William's project pages are a real
dry read to most people, but if you're a network
administrator or curious programmer, you may find some time
well spent here. For the curious, William writes code in C/C++/C#.NET,
Pascal, FoxPro/Visual FoxPro, BASIC/QBASIC/VB/VB.NET, PHP, Perl, Java,
ASP/JScript, JavaScript, Lua, and various shell scripts like DOS, and bash. He is also adept with formatting languages like HTML/XHTML,
XML, XSLT, and CSS. No good programmer gets far without learning
RDBMS platforms, and William has spent considerable time since 1996 with
Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and FoxPro queries, administration, stored
procedures (T-SQL and PL/SQL), maintenance, and tuning.
- ... an accomplished college student. He is a member of an international honor society and
the recipient of several academic honors from two colleges. William holds degrees from community college (Associate of Science), baccalaureate
college (Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a Minor in Computer
Science), and two master's degrees (Master of Business Administration and Master of Science in Information Systems, specialized in Web & Mobile Computing).
- ... a computer networking study. William has been involved in computer networking since
the days of Windows 3.11 (Windows for Workgroups) when the best-known networking
drivers were from Novell and LANtastic. Since then he has picked up myriad networking
and internetworking experience using Cisco and SonicWALL routers, Microsoft and Linux server
platforms, and both wired and wireless environments.
- ... an Anime fan. What started with "Nausicaa of the Valley of the
Wind" (at the time, on HBO as "Warriors of the Wind") has
grown into a collection of several hundred DVD and VHS Japanese Anime
products. A
slightly outdated list of the titles we own is
available in our public share directory.
- ... a video games enthusiast and collector. William maintains -- always hooked up and
ready to play -- every video games console that he acquires. With few exceptions, William
has nearly every console and hand-held ever made since the Atari 2600!
- ... an on-and-off martial arts student. Since he was 14 years old, William has studied a
variety of martial arts including primarily Tae Kwon Do, Jujitsu, and Eskrima. While
unranked, he also has exposure with Tai Lu Chuan Fa, Capoira, and Ken Po.
- ... an amateur musician. William plays electric bass guitar most, drawing
influence primarily from heavy and new metal bands.
- ... involved in community organizations both on campus and off. William has founded clubs
that still exist today and takes part in organizations that have community outreach,
some international.
