Hi, I'm Wukl, the (king, president? I don't know?) of Homskili. I'm from the Netherlands, so my English will change a lot between posts, firstly because I'm still learning it and secondly because I only come here once in two weeks or so. I love programming (Java and PHP mostly, but sometimes Python too) and playing Minecraft. Because of those two, I'm quite active on the Computercraft wiki, updating and upgrading it.

Closed Sources is my only puppet. I had some more, but it turned out I didn't have enough time to maintain them. (At least, I had, but then I started doing something for school, as (Dutch school system! 1 is very bad, 10 is very good) marks as a 4 seemed to be insufficient.)
You can further find me on the internet under the names 'Ribsnikker' (YouTube) and 'Wukl' (about the rest of the internet).

(I need to stop using brackets... Oh bugger)

Approved by SC, sooo...

Welcome!
