Ok so i did one introduce yourself post. it was very dry, it had little to no flair, and i don't expect a huge response. infact i got absolutely no responses. cool. i am going to try again. and actually put effort into it.
I go by Pythonic-Nonsense or Vulpus Grey on most social pages. namely here, facebook and Reddit. You can call me Hatch for short. my wife and kids do, so why not.
ABitAboutAPeople:
I program in python, and i am learning/working in pygame and selenium. i also frequent the Python Programming Language group on facebook and give advice daily, under the account Vulpus Grey. The name is spelled Vulpus Grey on purpose. it is not a type. you see in old mythologies, the fox is a trickster spirit, but not in a bad way, you see the fox tricks people into tricking themselves, usually in a way that either helps them improve, or ends them. they are also popularly know as guardians to spirits. i, as a father, and as a traveler, and as an educator, feel i do much to protect many people. i chose the handle Vulpus Grey because Vulp-Us is a play on words. it means to me, to trick us all, to help us all improve. To Vulp Us.
I also write poetry and fiction, usually in the fantasy, Sci-Fi and horror realms. I do like to read also, but usually i read in the realms i write, along with tech manuals and the occasional romance. I love movies, good cinema is a beauty to me, and i always enjoy try to think about what the writers or director thought about when they created the scenes.
I am a huge nerd. I play D&D, i write my own table top systems for pen and paper games, I play WoW(vanilla,TBC.), LoL, HoTS, Roblox Phantom Forces, Poxnora, Runescape, Atlas Reactor, and last but definitely not least, EUOtopia. as for offline games i indulge myself in classics and retro's. i love the Sega Genesis and the Playstation original my favorite game series of all time is Phantasy Star 1-4. i also play a lot of nes, snes, GBC, and GBA games. Mainly RPG's, side-scrollers and once in a while, a round or two of road rash.
i main a mage in wow, i play ashe and Yi on Lol, sonya and valeera on HotS, MK.II with acog and red lazer on RPF, Froglars on Poxnora, working on 99str runescape, Titus on AR, and a troll rogue on EUO.
I also was homeless in America and a Traveler for over seven years before i came to Iowa, got married, and had my first son. I have since attended multiple semesters at the local community college, holding an A/B average in all my classes, and am taking a short break to pursue family interests and self-learning python programming. While traveling i trained in survival and martial arts with many Ex-military friends, and studied herbalism of American indigenous plants, medicinal, and edible uses.
I like to help people. i frequently find myself spending hours if not days helping people solve their problems. whether it is advice on relationships, study advice, or helpful coding hints, or it means grabbing a wrench and climbing under a car, or grabbing my tools and fixing the house or building something. sometimes it is as small as reminding someone they are loved, sometimes it is as big as making a run down the street to grab groceries for someone who cant do it themselves.
As much as i like to waste time and play games, i also like to educate myself and discuss intellectual subjects. i like to talk and read about philosophy, anthropology, sociology, psychology, medicine and, yup you guessed it, computers.
Long before i was programming, i was a computer technician. i have spent most of my life learning things like, imaging, data recovery, aggressive malware and virus removal, hardware updates and upgrade, software updates and upgrades, OS emulation through things like virtual box and VMware, Partitioning, Core system file repair for system32 and /root, and software compatibility for different OS versions and cross platforming, like WINE. I also do things like Retro game art, 16 and 32 bit style pictures in a program called Piskel.
I enjoy music, immensely. I enjoy listening to a plethora if different types of music, and while not much of a musician myself, i like to sing around the house and play the spoons when other musicians are nearby.
I am a recovered addict. I have spent years of my life high on innumerable unnamed drugs, and now i am sober. i do not drink, smoke, huff, or anything else of the sort. except cigarettes and coffee. and i do not smoke anywhere near my kids.
I am a dog owner, and i love dogs, i have studied breeding, mid-wifed births of multiple litters, saved multiple dogs lives from parvo(an extremely deadly virus with over 80% chance of death even with hospitalization) by using gatorade, whole milk, a needleless syringe, and no sleep for 72+ hours. My dogs name is Tuggz and he is eight years old. I've had him since four weeks. He and I have traveled through 39 continental states together hitchhiking and he now resides on my couch, where he grumbles for food and occasionally pees in the basement when i don't take him out fast enough. he is a parvo survivor.
My favorite color is green.
My favorite car is a 1993 ford escort.
My favorite song is when my wife sings Mr.Jones by counting crows.
My lucky number is 7.
I am a Capricorn, born the day after Christmas. 1990.
My favorite food is Orange chicken, Mint Chocolate chip ice cream, and French toast, but not together.
My favorite drinks are Root beer, Coffee, Black/Green tea, and Murder Juice(OJ).
you can find some, but definitely not all of my programming works at the following link

I do not like cameras, i do not like cops, i do not like politicians, but i am very political because it effects us all. i am afraid of needles, and because of multiple trauma's, i am agoraphobic and incredibly socially awkward, which is hard to deal with because i used to be a very social being, so places like reddit, facebook, and now steemit, are an awesome way for me to connect with people without being stifled by fear or anxiety.
I almost never ever talk about myself this much. and it usually does not matter because people do not really listen anyway. and if they do, it is usually just to have something to respond to. I hope to meet intellectuals here, who can actually hold a conversation. Confidence is cool, and i respect it. please check your ego at the door. i will not participate in your fallacy or your phallacy.
I hate doing dishes...
yup, that deserves its own line.
I am happy to join this community as a Steemian, and look forward to meeting other Steemians and connecting over many awesome subjects. ialso look forward to having a place to share cool information and laugh at funny meme's. i also look forward to discussing python and other programming concepts with my fellow Steemians.
Hope you enjoyed the read! cant wait to see you out there!
