I'm 55. 6 grown kids. 1 grandchild and another on the way.
Been programming for 17 years, started in vax basic and assembler for
the pdp-11. I've also worked as commercial fisherman, park ranger,
agronomist and surveyor.
I started learning python about 4 years ago, when I was asked to design
and implement an online high school class on intro to programming and
program design. I used rebol for the first semester and python for
the second. Alan Gauld's book was (and I believe still is) the textbook
for the second semester.
I'm self-employed and work at home. My wife is a retired physical
therapist. I use rebol and python about equally and C now only when
I really have to. Lately have been learning lisp and emacs. Although
I have no intentions of giving up python and vim.
I run both linux and windows concurrently on my work station so I guess
I "swing both ways" when it comes to OS'es.
Hobbies are gardening, landscaping, brewing beer, hiking and generally
puttering 'round my property.
Happy New Year Jacob and the rest of you too.
