#about
%p I'm Will Farrington, a Computer Science student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I was originally going to be a Music major (I play single reeds and dabble in a handful of other things), but going to Tech worked out for the best: I'm working on stuff I enjoy, and I'm not getting burned out on music.
%p Anyway, I'm a hacker. Or at least something vaguely similar. I firmly believe Open Source Software is the bee's knees. I really enjoy working on projects that I genuinely enjoy knowing that other people get to benefit from that work (just like I benefit from theirs). I make it a point to keep all of the code I write for personal uses on GitHub for just that reason. Hopefully you'll either enjoy using it or improve it and send me a pull request.
