Trained in C, familiar with C++ and Java, spent the last 10 or so years mostly in scripting (perl, shell, etc) with a little php/ajax/js on the side. I've been running linux on just about all my systems for over 5 years, and at least partially using it since '95, mostly with Debian and now Ubuntu. Lately I'm getting back into a project using C, maybe Lua, front end with php/ajax/js, and who knows what else.

Outside of the techie stuff, I enjoy photography as a hobby and do a lot of home repair both on my own home and with the local Habitat chapter. For fun, I strap the bare necessities onto my back and enjoy a weekend of backpacking.

Sep 30	comment	Why can't a startup “own” its employees when sport clubs can? @tomjedrz, that may be a technically correct comment, but it's not useful. Please explain any issues you see. My thoughts here come from what I've seen in practice, so I'm more than happy to hear about the legal reality.

Sep 6	comment	Am I committing patent infringement if the function is the same but construction is different? @Mike, licensing fees, and eventually stuff falls out of patent protection. If someone has a patent, and you want to make it, you either make it in a non-infringing way, or you get a licence from the patent holder. The government can legalize whatever they want.
Sep 6	comment	Am I committing patent infringement if the function is the same but construction is different? @Mike, patents are a legalized monopoly by definition.

Aug 30	comment	Separate bank accounts? @Tim, If you carry enough of a balance, you can get a business account without fees for the typical small business transactions. And always give the small local banks/credit unions a try.
