Sat at a teletype terminal connected remotely to a large mainframe for the first time at age 7 in the 1960's.

Liked computers ever since.

Began to learn perl in the 1990's, but has been far too lazy and undisciplined to be considered a serious programmer.

Learns best by doing, so is nervous about taking sky-diving lessons.

Apparently has no life, because he juggles 7 and can copy Morse Code at 40 WPM.
