Phillip T. George, A.K.A. "Lanica Dragon", is a jack-of-all-trades sort of guy located in the mid-USA area. He has been mostly self-taught, since the time he began pecking away on a keyboard at the ripe age of 5 years old. Some of Phillip's working knowledge includes game development, GBA development, C/C++, networking, Linux, Windows, and DOS. Apparently, Phillip also has some skills in PocketPC, as he recently (June 2007) updated the PocketPC port of Exult to be able to compile using MSVC9 (beta 1) and run on the actual devices (not just the emulators). He currently maintains it the PocketPC port, with plenty of good direction from other Exult users and other Exult developers.
