 * Main Wow Character: Wraithhammer on Kil'jaeden in The Collective

Life In General
Karl Isenberg is a college student at University of California at Irvine. He got his WoW addon start by editing a mod that converted speech to L337 and back which then progressed into the UniversalTranslator which was soon after banned and disabled by Blizzard, but not before Karl had moved onto his next project. Since January of 2005 Karl has written over 50 addons, helped debug dozens more and is currently a part of the Cosmos Development Team. Karl's WoW pseudonym is AnduinLothar, the name of his 60 Paladin on Kil'jaeden and all the characters before him in the beta tests. He likes to code most of his addons for standalone use and post them on Curse-Gaming and WoWInterface as well. In his time away from WoW Karl has recently done Programming Research using Python, XML and JavaScript to develop an online templated PDF editor. He also likes to rollerblade, play racketball and read fiction.
