Krehbiel's Korner is the official home page of Thomas Krehbiel.  Accept no substitutes.

Tom is a software developer who started out with a Color Computer around 1984, progressed to an Amiga around 1987, and now develops primarily for the Microsoft .NET platform at an undisclosed location somewhere in Virginia. He also dabbles in PHP development, PC gaming, genealogy, writing, music, home recording, arts and crafts.

You may remember Tom from Nova Design, where he worked on the award-winning image processing software ImageFX before the demise of the Amiga market.

You may also know Tom as ]CC[-UltrViolet of the Crayola Clan, which at one time was ranked #2 in QuakeWorld behind Dogg Pound, and famously lost (twice!) to TULL in the finals of the Q2ICR tournament.

If you are a current or future employer checking up on Tom, you should note that he doesn't write about people or events at work. Conversely, he rarely discusses the topics found on this site in real life.

The opinions expressed on this site do not reflect the views of Tom's employer, co-workers, friends or family.
