About
the early years
I was born Milton Gago da Câmara Moura on the 16th of June, 1980 in S. Miguel Island, in the Azores. Went to a private college until I was 12 and then attended High School at E.S. Laranjeiras, graduating on the class of 1998.
I learned how to code on Turbo Pascal 7.0 during the summer of 1996 by drawing animations with Borland's BGI graphics. It was a matter of time before I fell in love with programming computers.
In mid-1997, I was given a 14k dialup internet connection and started trolling around IRC, #coders and some newsgroups.
By late 1998, I was writing assembly, C & C++ for programming these things called demos (you can try to run this one under DOSEmu) while listening to The Smashing Pumpkins, Bush & Garbage.
the missing years
After graduating High-School, I enrolled the Mathematics & Computer Science degree at the Departamento de Matemática da Universidade dos Açores, graduating on June 2003.
During that time, I was able to teach myself how to program the web with PHP & Javascript, make Windows programs using MFC and Windows .NET and grew a slight aberration for Java, in favor of C#.
Also, around 2001 I grew very found of Python and evangelized whenever I could. Some people actually listened.
