I'm a software engineer working at Mozilla Corporation on the Firefox browser. Previously, I worked on the GNU project for many years, first at Apple Computer doing the oft-disbelieved port of GCC to the System 7 Mac, then Cygnus Solutions working on GDB, then Apple again working on GCC and GDB for Mac OS X. In my younger days I got a PhD doing research on Lisp implementation techniques.

My personal interests are varied and include software, stamp collecting, sailing ships, ship models, history (particularly ancient history and military history), rock climbing, mountaineering, languages, literature (novels mostly), botany (particularly desert plants), fish, and entomology (particularly beetles).

I can read German, but struggle with French and Italian.

Dumping my life's accumulated factoids into Wikipedia seems like a fun thing to do, we'll see how it goes.

Two weeks after first edit (mid-February 2003) - it's like being an ADD-afflicted magpie in a bottle cap factory!
August 2003 - it's consuming nearly all of my waking moments...
August 2004 - not as many of the waking moments, but I think about it a lot when doing other things.
July 2005 - monitoring a lengthy watchlist (19,000 pages), but not writing so much; mostly taking plant pictures for commons.
May 2006 - finally got tired of the old watchlist and erased it (vandals everywhere rejoice), will be gradually rebuilding it.
