I am a member of the OFPEC Editors Depot Staff, and long standing OFP user and scripter.

...I must have bought at least a dozen copies, ranging from the original individual games Cold War Crisis, Red Hammer and Resistance, to Game of the Year (GOTY) editions... so of which I have sold on to others that will hopefully join the wonderful OFP community.

In RL, I am a Technical Specialist for a software company making IDP (Integrated Data Protection) products, including small business to Enterprise level Backup software. I worked for the original UK-based company for 5 years, but have since worked for 5 years at our new global Head Office based in San Deigo, California, USA, soon after it opened.

As well as deeply involved in assisting with the rebuilding OFPEC, I am in the process of building a dedicated backup server for our web server, which i will probably be shipping to Sweden. Hopefully, this will help prevent another disaster causing to loose anything, even if the webmaster's house burns down or something (provided the offsite backups are up-to-date).

I have a deep commitment to OFP and the community and some of my on-going projects include:

1. The finishing of off a (rather ambitious) single-player mission titled "Scuds Galore!"

2. The checking of all user created Functions submitted previously to OFPEC (fortunately, I had previously downloaded them all), so that they with the new Editors Depot, new Functions can be evaluated as pending, prior to posting in the main Functions dowload area.

3. Helping with anything that Sui, our esteemed leader, would like my help with, including this Wiki.

4. Hoping that I will not become too distracted by Armed Assault, when it is available, to interfer too much with the above :-)

Richard.
