timber-frame house for his family. He operates a portable band-saw mill,
|
|
does general woodworking, plays the fiddle and searches for rare
|
|
prairie plants, as well as growing shiitake mushrooms. He is also
|
|

|
|
Bill has worked with Unix systems since the early Version 7 days on PDP-11's.
|
|
He worked with Xenix throughout most of the eighties and has also worked
|
|
with many other flavors of Unix over the years, but his operating system
|
|
of choice is now Linux. When not working or fiddling with his four Linux
|
|
systems at home (which is rare), he might have some time left over for his
|
|
other hobbies; his dog (Daisy), photography and Amateur Radio.

|
|
Oleg Machulski is a student of
|
|
<A HREF="http://mech.math.msu.su/chislmet.htm"> Laboratory
|
|
of Computing methods</A>
|
|
at the

|
<A HREF="http://mech.math.msu.su/">Faculty of Mechanics and

|
|
|
|
He has been a Linux enthusiast since Sept.1996 as well as an OS/2 enthusiast.
|
|
After receiving the source of a
|
|
very unusual DOS text editor, where the program was structurized
|
|
in a hypertext manner from his scientific advisor Andrey V. Astreling,
|
|
he wrote and ported the following functions:
|
|
search, macrocommands, multiple pages and so on.
|
|
Brief history of that freeware project could be found at
|
|
http://shade.msu.ru/~machulsk/mmm/mmm.html
|
|
Also, I like to play guitar and listen to jazz music.

James Shelburne</a></H4>
|
|
<P>
|
|
James Shelburne currently lives in Waco, Texas where he spends most of
|
|
his free time working on various Linux networking projects. Some of his
|
|
interests include Perl + CGI, Russian, herbal medicine and the Ramones
|
|
(yes, you heard right, the Ramones). He is also a staunch Linux advocate
|
|
and tries to convert every MacOS/MS Windows/AMIGA user he comes into
|
|
contact with. Needless to say, only other Linux users can stand him.

<img src="./gx/snow.gif" alt="" align=right>
|
|
I'd like to apologize for being later than usual getting
|
|
<i>LG</i> posted. The weather in Seattle has been a more than a little bizarre
|
|
lately. My
|
|
neighborhood got about 20 inches of snow from December 26 to December 29.
|
|
Since the normal yearly snowfall is about 4 inches, everything stopped,
|
|
including the buses for the first time in Metro history. SSC had a portion
|
|
of the roof give way under the weight of snow and water (the rains started
|
|
December 29 and haven't quit yet). As a result of the flooding, things are
|
|
in quite a mess around the office. Yearly rainfall in Seattle is usually 31
|
|
inches; this year we had 55 inches. I thought I was back in Houston!
|
|
<P>
|
|
Actually, I was back in Houston during my vacation week before Christmas.
|
|
The weather wasn't
|
|
great there either -- rainy and cold, and I was counting on sunshine. However,
|
|
I still had a good time visiting with family and friends. My grandchildren, Sarah
|
|
and Rebecca, are a delight to be with -- I miss them a lot.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Have fun!
