Writing code since 1979

I have been a professional software engineer for over 10 years. I have written many kinds of software, but my particular strengths are interactive graphics applications, compilers and interpreters, and algorithms.

I also enjoy writing, woodworking, and home improvement. Also this.

Second Variety movie

In today's Bleat, Lileks describes a movie called Screamers. I immediately recognized the plot as one of my favorite short stories, Philip K. Dick's Second Variety. I didn't know they'd made it into a movie, though, and still I'll probably avoid it, as I don't think I've ever seen a movie made out of something I'd read and liked, that I felt added anything to the book. I wonder if they were faithful to the story's denouement; it's definitely not a Hollywood ending.
