Hi. I'm Orin. This page is mainly here to satisfy my ego and the curiosity of any random site visitors.

The Orin FAQ

There are certain questions I get asked way too often, so here they are. One day I hope to reply to people asking me these questions with "didn't you read the FAQ before talking to me?!" (Joke.)

How do you pronounce your last name?
Like this (IPA):


Where are you from?
I was born in Washington, DC (my parents can't seem to agree on exactly where). My dad is an American from an old Maryland family. My mother and grandmother are from the former Yugoslavia. (Serbo-Croatian and English are my second and third languages, respectively, although I have native-speaker fluency in English alone.)

What kind of camera do you use?
I use a Konica Minolta Dimage S414. I dream of someday owning a Dimage A2.

What music do you like?
Changes all the time. Lately I've been listening to The Faint, Rico, Elysian Fields, and TV on the Radio more than usual. My music tastes are pretty random.

What system/OS are you running?
As I write this:
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
1GB PC2700 RAM
BFGTech GeForce 6800 GT OC Custom
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Samsung 160GB SATA HD
Seagate Barracuda 80GB UDMA5 HD
Kingwin KT-436-BK
Windows XP Professional
Mandrake Linux AMD64 10.1-beta2

Network topology?
You must be really bored.
