| Introduction | I'm a programmer (or software engineer when I'm trying to sound impressive) living in the achingly beautiful Monadnock region of south western New Hampshire. My job primarily involves working on the open source Subversion project to create the world’s most fabulous version control system. In this capacity I’ve learned a few things about C and Python and get to fly out to CA once and a while. My free time is spent mostly with my wife Carol, our family, and friends. Though I confess to spending a lot of time alone doing stupid things like running up a mountain in the dark after work in a rather pathetic effort to train for mountain bike races in which I’ll only be mildly competitive. I guess I just like pain and suffering and/or I’m having an early mid-life crisis. |
