General
I make my profession as a software programmer/analyst. That's about all I can tell you. It's not that I work for the government on some top-secret project or anything like that.
There have been a lot of controversial firings involving people posting about their work or even acknowledging the company they work for on their web sites. I need to keep my job so I can keep a roof over my head.
Languages
I program or have programmed using the following languages or markup-languages.
- C
- C++

- Python
- ASP
- JSP
- PHP
- HTML
- XML
- XSL
- JavaScript
- VB Script
- MS DOS
- Perl
- *nix shell scripting
OS
I currently use OS X on the Mac. I love it! I was a Windows person and got sick of it. I ran a Linux box for a while. I went to the first and third Linux Worlds in NYC. I then decided I needed an OS with a more friendly desktop.
I now preach the gospel of the Mac everywhere now. I see what all the art school kids were talking about. It has the power of *nix underneath a beautiful face. It just works!
Games
I used to love to play Half Life and Counter Strike. The only down side of owning a Mac is missing out on games like that. I've gotten over it though. The PS2 does the job just fine.
