I got a piece of paper says I know how to crash big computers.

Been doin' it since '83 and still in love with my 110-baud acoustic coupler.

Minored in Journalism.

A program that is logically ordered, meticulously accurate, concise, and contains a touch of style, is a thing of beauty.

The parallels between writing "code" and writing prose are greater than one might think.

My job description:
 * I spend the first third of my day staring, utterly confused, at a large computer.
 * By mid-day, I've worked up the courage to put the thing into an even worse state.
 * I spend the remainder of the day kicking it in frustration.

I do like to debate (and am trying my best to keep the claws retracted).
