Ragtime
Established: 1999?
Past Names: Snowy Peak Kennels and Cattery, Elicit, and more I don't remember.
Current Name's Definition: Wikipedia says, "Ragtime (alternately spelled Ragged-time) is an originally American musical genre which enjoyed its peak popularity between 1897 and 1918. Its main characteristic trait is its syncopated, or "ragged", rhythm. It began as dance music in the red-light districts of American cities such as St. Louis and New Orleans years before being published as popular sheet music for piano."
Current Name's Origin: I like music and it just sounded right, Vy@Ragtime. It also has a cute, "petzy" feel to it.
How It's Made: Notepad for writing the code, MS Paint & Paint Shop Pro 7 for graphics

Me
Past Alias: Vixen
Current Alias Vyvika, commonly Vy (rhymes with pie)
Real Name: Jessica
Date of Birth: October 10th, 1989
Location: Connecticut, USA
Occupation: College Student
Years in the PC: 11 - 12?
How I Found the PC: My first internet obsession was cyber pets and to have cyber pets you have a place to put them so I began to dabble in shitty web design. At this time I was known as Vixen, because I liked foxes and my favorite letter is V. Some people who ran cyber pet web sites also owned petz sites, so one Christmas I got Petz. Just like everyone else my interest comes and goes or real life gets in the way. I also played World of Warcraft heavily for a year and a half, thus everything else on the computer collected dust. I think petz is a much healthier addiction and I'd like to learn more about web design.

Art!
My lovely boyfriend and his family got me lots of art supplies for Christmas and thus I must use them! I cancelled my DeviantArt accounts and my e-mail cannot be used to create another one so I'll just post stuff here. I don't have a scanner so you must endure pictures of my pictures. I sketch, paint, & have dabbled in photography. I don't have a great camera so the latter of which I don't take seriously.
A Mother's Love
Info: Done in pencil, 9 by 12 inches, given to my mom for Christmas. I used a reference picture that I found off google. Looks much better in person. :/ And yes those are batteries at the bottom. I was changing out the ones in my camera and they rolled into the picture. I could have cropped them out, but it looked weird.
Friendship - Exploration - Parenthood - Love
Info: All four were done in acrylics and are 6 by 6 inches. They each have a theme from life. My camera sucks and thus they are all a bit on the blurry side. I tried to make them clearer, but hopefully you get the gist even if the detail is hard to see. For example the white thing on the ground in the first one is a rat, but the arms are hard to see. 100 times better in real life, I swear!
