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.

Jul 13	comment	Seeking Google+ Development Partner That makes a bit more sense. Glad I held off on the down vote.
Jul 13	comment	Seeking Google+ Development Partner You're asking for a list of companies that are already working with an API that hasn't been released (and more than likely doesn't even exist yet)? Would it make sense if I asked you for a list of good mechanics that have experience working on hovercraft?

Jul 8	comment	a place to call work! I think the yes/no to the "are you alone" should be reversed. If you live by yourself, you have no distractions at home to need an office. And if you have no co-workers, you have no need for a space to share. Unless by office you are referring to a place where you can meet others in the industry rather than "get work done".

Jul 3	comment	What are key difference in the way SMEs and big companies buy IT solutions? Perhaps Skarab means SMB, Small and Medium size Businesses?
Jul 3	comment	What are key difference in the way SMEs and big companies buy IT solutions? I've always known SME to mean subject matter expert, aka a lead tech or consultant. But since they tend to work for the big companies, I'm not sure this question makes sense, or perhaps Skarab is thinking of some other acronym.
Jun 28	comment	Collecting Use taxes That was my understanding as well, which is why the linked article confused me by describing the vendor collecting a use-tax. I think the simplest answer here is that the author of the article doesn't understand the difference between a sales and use tax.

Jun 27	comment	I have a prototype, now what? Why do you need investors at this point, how will the money be used, and what is preventing you from starting small and bootstrapping?

Jun 27	answered	When to say yes, I need to get employees to help me?
Jun 26	comment	Is building a better product good enough? You should be at least 36% better than the competition. How you measure this is left up to an exercise for the reader. :)
