About the Author

Joel Durham, Jr.

I hate writing about myself in the third person for these author blurbs, so I’m going to put a stop to it right now. I’m Joel Durham Jr., and I’m one of your hosts for this adventure. I’ve been a computer and video game nerd all my life, and I’ve been writing professionally about computers, games, operating systems, consoles, and all that kind of stuff since 1997 — when Matt Firme gave me my big break by hiring me as PC Gamer’s first Technical Editor. After a year in that blissful atmosphere I left that job, mainly to escape the San Francisco Bay area (having to get an interestonly ARM mortgage for a $750,000 2-bedroom house on a lot the size of a sheet of standard copier paper, and somehow survive on an editor’s salary).

Derek Torres

I, too, hate writing about myself in the third person; knowing that Joel hated this odd phenomenon as much as I do was the real reason that I chose to write a few chapters for this book. Technical writer by trade, I’ve been into computers for a very long time and getting paid to do it since 1998 or so. My career as a tech writer took off in Paris, France, around the turn of the century where I worked for several software shops.
