About me

I am Brock Harrison Austin Barnett born on July 18, 1989 in Louisville Kentucky. I have been creating, modifying and just plan o' having fun with computers since I was a kid. I was about eight(8) years of age when I got my first computer. It wasn't a tower PC though it did have windows on it. The first computers I actually used before I had my own ran on DOS. I started my learning of web design around 2003-2004 after playing an online game called FFXI I wanted to build a website for some friends in the game. Even though there was websites about the game I wanted to make my own design that would focus on the crafting of the game. That way every time someone would ask me about crafting instead of me explaing it every time I could send them a link. So I started teaching myself basic HTML. The next thing I knew our group who played wanted a forum so I started learning more about that.

I moved on to a game called Freelancer. Which I modded for a while and then decided I wanted to play other peoples modifications of the game. I found the Solurus Systems Mod in which the genius programmer of the mod had made is own installer. Since people were used to it I ran the troubleshooting part of the project. In order to make things easier on myself I made a step-by-step website in which I used java script for the first time. I also designed the splashscreen for the game for a couple of versions.

Eventually the project split and long story short I went onto being one of a main developer with my own team and maintained a new website called Dark Cosmos. I continued to teach myself more like php so I could understand how forums worked. Sadly to say after my best friend Robert Pierce died on June 8th 2008 the group disbanded.

Before my friend died he had encouraged me to join Shadows of the Lylat. Which is a project that I am now the webmaster of and created their logo.

I joined ITT Technical Intuition and graduated with an Associates Degree in Visual Communications. I had many awards including highest Honors, National Technical Honors Society, and an Academic excellence award.

I have to say I don't think I would have made with through college without Quetira Neal. Quetura (kētyū'rə) is pronounced ke-TOO-rah which is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "incense". Biblical: the second wife of Abraham and mother of six of his sons, who became ancestors of various Arabian peoples. I have known her since we were very young and love her deeply we started dating in September 2008. On June 5, 2010 I was happy to call her Quetura Barnett. The picture is of me on that special day.

I continue to do freelance work as I have done throughout college and am currently looking for a position within a company.
