Bio
Sigh. Someone pointed out I should make this a bit more relevant, though I do like the oft-repeated "I like lots of bands and watching movies and talking to friends and going to clubs" bit. (You'd be surprised to learn just who reads this stuff. I know I was.)

I've been programming for over 25 years on just about everything from a single-board computer with 1K RAM and 7-segment LED displays, to a Cray Y-MP. (Though most of my time has been spent developing code for something in-between.)

I've written programs in hardware, binary, hex, assembly, C, C++, Pascal, COBOL, Lisp (many flavors), TCL/Tk, Objective-C, FORTH, Pewl (eeeeew!), sh and ksh, yadda yadda. If it's been a semi-popular language in the last 20 years, I've used it; I may have written a compiler for it.

I've probably developed software on every major Unix platform which has come out since 1980—I've even written code on a PDP-11 running V7. Much of my experience has been working with kernel-level code and embedded systems, though I've written numerous GUIs and database applications, simulations, AI agents, etc, etc.

Writing that out makes me wonder where I've found the time to do it all. That's what happens when you spend most of your life writing computer software. I'm supposed to be "retired", but I've gotten involved in some... very interesting projects lately.

I have numerous other hobbies and interests, and you can learn more about that by visiting my website.

If you're not on my friends list, don't take it personally. I'm the only person on my friends list, for reasons not worth going into.
