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.

An article a few days ago on MSN (which I can no longer seem to find) verified what I already suspected: Even if you live in a state with a great tax rebate program, it takes about five years for owning a hybrid-fuel car to be cheaper than owning an equivalent pure-gas car. If you live where there are no rebates, forget it; it'll never pay off. While owning a hybrid has other advantages (in some states, you can ride alone in the carpool lane), the economics are going to have to improve further, probably by means of making a large federal tax rebate. The situation is even worse for all-electric cars; my family would be ideal candidates for an electric car, but none of the major manufacturers sell one, and those you can buy are exorbitantly expensive.

I've finally put up some new pictures. They're not sorted or thumbnailed, but they're there, anyway. The maintenance of those photo albums is just too much; can anyone recommend something like iPhoto, but for Windows or Linux?
