I have gone in the Internet Relay Chat once and asked LobsterMan if he could help me with setting up a pool.
I am a PHP coder (here is a snippet of my Stress Tester)

I also code a few other languages.

I use command based miners and I even created a GUI for them in Visual Basic .NET (simplicity VB.NET = easy shit)

I've owned FreeResellers.net and currently own the free webhosting "epicoffshore.com".

Need to know anything else? Let me know.
