ago.

<H4><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="../gx/note.gif">Jesper Pedersen</a></H4>
|
|
Jesper Pedersen lives in Odense, Denmark, where he has studied computer science
|
|
at Odense University since 1990. He expects to obtain his degree in a year and
|
|
a half. He has a great job as a system manager at the
|
|
university, and also teaches computer science two hours a week. He is very
|
|
proud of his "child," The Dotfile Generator, which he wrote as part of his
|
|
job at the university. The idea for it came a year and a half ago, when he had
|
|
to learn how to configure Emacs by reading about 700 pages of the lisp manual.
|
|
It started small, but as time went by, it expanded into a huge project.
|
|
In his spare time, he does Yiu-Yitsu, listens to music, drinks beer and has fun with
|
|
his girl friend. He loves pets, and has a 200 litre aquarium and two very cute
|
|
rabbits.

|
|
Major "Not Linux" projects on my plate these days are the repair of a quilt
|
|
and Thanksgiving.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The "Sunbonnet Sue" quilt was
|
|
made for my sister Gaynell when she about 5, and is turning into more work than
|
|
I expected. But when I am finished, it will be beautiful again and
|
|
will make a good Christmas present for her.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Thanksgiving feels like an even
|
|
bigger project than the quilt repair--I get to host this year, which means
|
|
I do the major part of the cooking. I will be serving traditional Southern
|
|
fare, since I was raised in Texas. I feel like I should already be cooking
|
|
to be ready on time. At any rate, I am looking forward to visiting with
|
|
family, and eating too much. :-) I am also looking forward to the long
|
|
weekend--four days off from work feels like a vacation!
|
|
<P>
|
|
Have fun!
