[about] about toraton 6/12/2006 My name is Josiah Purtlebaugh and my alias is toraton. I'm a nineteen year-old kid living in the Puget Sound area. It's hard to write everything about myself.

I'm a hobbyist programmer; I write programs in C/C++ and perl, usually, though I can program in a slew of other languages. There aren't many finished products that I can put my name on, but I have many proof of concept type ideas as well as started projects that haven't gotten the love they deserve.

This website isn't about me, though. This is about code love; this is about all those projects that never get the time they need in order to become popular or (dare I say) useful. I've started this site in an effort to make my projects more readily available, or perhaps to force myself to work on more projects. Codelove is about the code.
