Hi!

I&rsquo;m Nicholas Pisarro, Jr.

I have set up a Wiki, using MediaWiki for creating collaborative information gathering at Aperture Technologies, Inc..

I have been writing software since 1961! Along the way, I&rsquo;ve written software and system software for just about any type of computer imaginable, including a vacuum tube computer, the complete microcode for an IBM System/370 clone, and a whole OS for a 68020 microprocessor. I have written many parsers along the way, etc, etc.

My initial impression of MediaWiki is that this is killer app class software. I ported the MediaWiki software here at Aperture for gathering all those thousands of bits of information that people have in their heads, but never manage to write down and get lost. It is gathering momentum since its introduction at the end of January 2004.

I am a listed MediaWiki developer, and have added a few features in 2004 & 5.
