Live in New Hampshire (US) with one daughter.
In love with computers and programming since forever (well, maybe only since 1968 or so...)
Working as a professional programmer mostly since 1977. Languages I have actually been paid to program in include
Assembler for PDP-11, Z80, 8086 family
FORTRAN
C / C++
Java
Jython
The company I work for now is mostly Java, but I have managed to introduce Jython to a couple of project and most of my work has been in Jython for the last year or so (hooray!!). Programming in Python is a lot of fun. The downside of that is that it makes Java and C++ (both of which I used to like a lot) look like a lot of work for little result.
I taught an Introduction to Programming with Python course for a local adult ed program last fall and I will be teaching Python for Programmers in the spring.
I like answering questions on the Tutor list because
- They are like little puzzles to solve, and I like puzzles
- I learn a lot - many times a question will be about a part of Python that I don't know, so I learn enough to answer the questions
- OK I admit it, it makes me feel smart :-)

But who are you all, what are you're ages, what do you do, marriage status, etc? You obviously don't have to answer, I'm just curious who I'm boldly sending emails to.
