A retired philosophy professor who taught himself programming when he
was twelve. I've been programming as a hobby since and was interested
in Python a few years ago, played around with it, and didn't pick it
back up until now. What else you want to know? I've got a cat, a dog,
and a lovely, highly intelligent wife who teaches history. No kids, and
no plans to have any.
