Welcome to the Scott T Jones Homepage
Now Eligible for RETIREMENT!
Games and game programming are my life. My latest game programming projects were XCOMUTIL, my utility to enhance the playability of X-COM:UFO Defense and its sequel, X-COM:Terror from the Deep, and APOCUTIL, a similar utility for X-COM:Apocalypse. The XcomUtil Homepage gives you access to the latest versions of XCOMUTIL and APOCUTIL and provides links to other XCOM pages. From my Zalbahr Bookshop, you can order some of my favorite books, games, and movies, as well as items that go well with the X-Com series of games. However, if you just like to read and don't want to spend money, you can visit the On-Line Books Page for a wide selection of free books.
Although XCOM is my favorite computer game of all time, I have also enjoyed playing StarCraft, Might and Magic, Heroes of Might and Magic, Baldur's Gate, Total Annihilation, Age of Empires, Age of Wonders, Diablo/Hellfire, and Diablo II. Just follow those links to some of the best fan sites. You can also order these games from my Zalbahr Bookshop.
My current game addiction is World of Warcraft. Here is my current character status, including complete character profiles courtesy of Allakhazam. For the most complete help for World of Warcraft, visit Thottbot.
Genealogy is very important to me. I currently own the JONES Family Homepage, the MAXEY Family Homepage, and the MAXEY mailing list.
My interest in Anime (Japanese Animation) and Go (an oriental strategy game) have led me to learn Japanese. I am an active member of the Anime Club at the University of Texas at Austin. I wrote my FlashCrd program to help me learn both Java and Japanese. You can follow this link to the Anime Pocket Guide, a great starting point for exploring the world of Japanese Animation. You may want to learn Japanese via Reiko-chan's Japanese for Anime Lovers. If you already know Japanese, you may want to download one of the many editors and dictionaries on Jim Breen's Japanese Page. If you like chess, you will love Go. IGO is a free demo of The Many Faces of Go, one of the best computer Go programs on the market and it includes a Go tutorial. If you want a full Go game that is free, take a look at GnuGo.
I was recently on a temporary assignment working at the IBM Tokyo Research Lab in Yamato-shi, Japan. You can follow this link to view some of the pictures that I took.
Because I have always wanted an electric car, my parents made my dreams come true by giving us a new gas-electric hybrid. Follow this link to see some pictures of my Toyota Prius.
Follow this link to a page dedicated to my father on his 80th birthday. You can also follow this link to my cruel page celebrating the 40th birthday of my sister.
Finally, you can follow this link to see pictures of our new dog.
You can look at some personal information about me or my resume by following these links.
