About this site

I'm sorry, please, let me introduce myself. My name is Andrew Ray, the owner of DelvarWorld.com. As I currently write this I am twenty years old and a junior IT major at the Rochester Institute of Technology. My bio is rather lengthy, so here are some key points in my history: I was born in Kentucky in 1986, then I moved to Massachusetts with my family in the second grade, then to Virginia in 2006. Now I am in college. I have countless hobbies; all of them are my true creative outlets. You can probably discover a few of them by looking around

Welcome to my most glorious work of all, my online portfolio, my soapbox, and a growing community. DelvarWorld.com was founded by I alone on April 29th, 2003. It opened to the public some time around eight PM eastern time, but I really don't think you need to know that. The different sections of this site represent who I am. Each one has grown with the site, and you can generally judge my progress of skill in each area by comparing the earlier and later images. Everything that I apply myself to I make sure I explore fully; I hate to pick up a hobby and then drop it without developing it. Please, look around. Try to find everything we have to offer. You could join the ever growing community, perhaps get a chance to use the unique File Uploader, or maybe just relax and listen to some music. Maybe you'll even find some kind of secret areas! I try to update everything as often as possible, so if you're not busy please stop in from time to time to see what else I have cooked up. Go! Go now! Go explore! But make sure you come back here because this page has neat stuff too.

The term "DelvarWorld" has origins in calculator programming. I would say that if not for my father buying me a TI-82 for high school math, my life would be different in a way I cannot comprehend. During math classes I began to explore the calculator's workings; especially the programming aspect. Slowly, with the help of the TI-82 manual and website tutorials, I taught myself everything I know about basic programming with a calculator. It was when I bought a TI-83+ Silver Edition (now only available as an 84) that I got the idea for DelvarWorld.

The short answer to what Delvar means is the calculator programming command "Delete Variable." "DelvarWorld" literally means "Delete Variable: World." It's kind of cute. The long answer involves my fascination with exploiting bugs in the calculator's operating system.
