ike you, in the grand scheme of things I'm pretty insignificant. Born in 1962, thoughout my public school education I held on to my love of the arts, especially writing. I'm still writing, but now web pages and even in other languages, computer languages perl,php,sql,javascript, and learning java.
anguage is penultimate. In the beginning there was the undifferentiated. Then there was the word.
'd like to know everything ultimately. That's not really possible, so I narrowed it down to the humanities and social sciences, basically those things which speak most clearly about what it is to be human.
ronically, what I'm spending most of my time doing these days is sitting at a computer hacking away at code. I have a compulsion towards mastery of things that interest me, and I've gone from the surface, the web page, down throught the html code, to perl cgi, to the OS (Linux), networking, and hardware. Currently also writing a lot of PHP. Along the way I lost all patience with Microsoft and am now something of an open source geek, even on my desk top.
have a bachelors degree in psychology and archaeology, and a certificate in internet systems administration. I'm interested in the big questions of Universe, as well as the smaller questions of earning a living as a computer geek. I'm a long term optimist, short term pessimist, and consequently would like to live for a thousand years to see how things turn out.
