Bienvenue. I'm Curtis K. Gwapo; a young entrepreneur obsessed with creating stuff. My passion lies in programming/coding/hacking.
I was tired of sucking at writing code so I decided to become the best hacker I can possibly become EVER.
I enjoy writing code in Ruby. What first drew me to Ruby was rails which I found in 2005 through a good friend of mine andru. What kept me with it was the beauty and simplicity of Ruby code.
Some other languages I have my eye on are Objective-C and Erlang. ObjC for iPhone stuff. Erlang for backend stuff.
Things I love include hacking, Ruby, *nix, excessive partying, crazy women, progressive house, traveling, books, fashions, and a few other things.

"These remarks apply with tenfold force to the use of intoxicating drinks. To make money, requires a clear brain. A man has got to see that two and two make four; he must lay all his plans with reflection and forethought, and closely examine all the details and the ins and outs of business. As no man can succeed in business unless he has a brain to enable him to lay his plans, and reason to guide him in their execution, so, no matter how bountifully a man may be blessed with intelligence, if the brain is muddled, and his judgment warped by intoxicating drinks, it is impossible for him to carry on business successfully. How many good opportunities have passed, never to return, while a man was sipping a “social glass,” with his friend! How many foolish bargains have been made under the influence of the “nervine,” which temporarily makes its victim think he is rich. How many important chances have been put off until to-morrow, and then forever, because the wine cup has thrown the system into a state of lassitude, neutralizing the energies so essential to success in business. Verily, “wine is a mocker.” The use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage, is as much an infatuation, as is the smoking of opium by the Chinese, and the former is quite as destructive to the success of the business man as the latter. It is an unmitigated evil, utterly indefensible in the light of philosophy, religion or good sense. It is the parent of nearly every other evil in our country."
