What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

"Vulpyne" is a creative spelling of "vulpine". (Vulpine is to foxes as canine to dogs, equine to horses, etc) I picked the name because I like foxes and other canids.

I work as a programmer, mostly using Python and Haskell.

As a hobby, I like sketching (I have a gallery linked as my homepage). Only digital stuff at the moment, but I hope to play with real-media at some point.
