About Me
My name is Constantinos Demetriadis, a computer oriented Greek-geek, who currently lives in Athens, Greece. I was born in one of the five New York boroughs, specifically in Queens. Yeah, you guessed it, all the Greeks lived in Astoria.
At the age of 5 I had my first computer encounter with the Atari gaming console – the one with the fake wooden finish. Stupidly at that point in time, and at that age, I thought it was awesome. I also remember being disappointed by the game cartridge packaging… what a turn down that was. Later on we got a Commodore VIC-20, where I spent most of my non-social helping my brother write basic programs. The tape drive sucked.
Following the VIC-20, came the Commodore 64 with a “Disk Drive”, that’s when things got interesting. Playing games like “Mission: Impossible” and “Frogger“… now that was revolutionary… I also remember I had to switch disk sides while in-game. Cool.
In the years that followed, computers became mainstream, and I managed to get myself a 286 with no hard drive and an unknown amount or RAM. That was followed by a 386, and then a 486… until I got my first Pentium. After that laptops came into play, and everything else is history…
I now own a sleek MacBook.
And, as far as my personal life is concerned, I’m happily married and the father a one little gorgeous critter.
– need to update with more boring stuff about me –
I spend my days as a web designer at OgilvyOne Worldwide Athens and my nights on my two baby projects, the award winning UX Magazine, and the newborn, Joblet.
