Computer skills, hmm... I learned C language a long time ago, but it was too difficult for me. I am unfamiliar with computers (I'm using it only since I am 19 years old), except using FL Studio but I often do mistakes.

Made my first punk program, printing profanity on a display model C64 at Kmart in the 80s.

You need a Ph.D to use it properly, therefore I have an honorary doctorate in OOlogy

Languages (In no apparent order):
C
C++
Ruby

In terms of music, I have dabbled with most available trackers and software but generally stick with LSDJ, Renoise, and Sunvox.

That sounds like something I can get behind

You are basically what I want to be, aren't you? LOL
Great set of coding skills there!
Edit: currently learning a little bit of assembly. Hope I can understand enough of that for it to be useful.
Aaaalso actually researching pen-testing and stuff like that. Not that I necessarily want to make a living as a computer security guy, as I'd definitely suck at it, mostly just because I've always had a sweet-tooth for how that stuff works.

Hahaha, if you want to get really good, you should play CTF (Capture the Flag) competitions. They are kinda of like jeopardy style competitions where the difficulty of the challenge corresponds to the number of points you receive for it. The challenges will be across a wide variety of areas, but almost always include exploitation and reverse engineering. A good beginner continuous (no end) CTF is http://overthewire.org/wargames/. Other than that, read a lot of http://reddit.com/r/netsec. Netsec always has good writeups on real vulnerabilities and exploits. Stuff like assembly take a long time to get good with and practice makes perfect. I know some guys who do malware analysis and they can take apart polymorphic code like a first grade reading assignment only because they look at it all day everyday.

holy crap! Thanks! I'll definitely check this out. Too cool! 
And yes, assembly is tough. My original plan was to learn enough to make it not completely muddy when looking at disassembly which in itself also is very tough, but I gotta start somewhere. It's all very new right now but I get to work this mush in my skull again for the first time in what feels like years LOL.
Also, sidenote, I'm hoping that a better understanding as to what happens "closer the metal" will improve my optimization skills in C++ as well.

Started out on c64 with assembly and basic demo coding. Moved to Amiga and onto 68000 assembly where I was one of the first coders for Magnetic Fields demo group and later Digital.
Then started making mods and other chip stuff (Future Composer and Soundmon) so stopped coding as a hobby and let the coding to the other guys.
Work wise I'm a DBA nowadays having been a coder for a number of years before that.
Visual Basic
RPG400
Perl
HMTL, JavaScript etc
SQL
I could probably still code 6502 weirdly but I'd struggle doing 68000

Closest thing I get to real coding is prolly MML for ppMCK.
But very savvy with technical softwares such as DAWs and Photoshop.

I know C, python, and a little bit of html5, I've been making quick dirty hacks to my computers since I was little, I can do okay pixel art, and really crude ASCII art, and I can track chiptunes and stuff... but I can't wrap my mind around object-oriented languages, and I haven't done much programming in a year or two. I'm an okay composer, but things get muddy, and I always pretend that I'm composing for Super-Nintendo...
