cryptic mini-bio
Hatched in the 70's. First perl under 5.003, and it's been a shebang ever since. Webapps, DBI-to-object glue, HTML generation, and the like are the past and present; XML record formats and photographic image databases are the future.

claimed skills
Don't believe the hype, kids.
- Old Hat
- linux, solaris, and kin: user, app admin, developer, app packager
- perl unix app developer
- DBI, HTML, CGI, mod_perl
- I fear no data structure yet devised by man
- New Tricks
- I hear they have XML on computers now.
- Schema? Yeah, I can spell it. What? Do I have one?
- WOW! Perl really does work on win32! my $photoshop
The obligatory interests:
- perl as glue; app integration
- validation, coding standards, risk management, choice of implementation, and really anal software engineering stuff like that
- math software: Matlab, Octave, and dear ol Maple
- scripting languages and automation of apps
- imaging databases
The Non-Obligatory, Non-Electron-Juggling Interests
- overhauling bicycles in one's basement
- volvo 240 sedans
- photographic composition
