<H4><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="../gx/note.gif">Tom Bryant</H4>
|
|
Tom has been working with computers since 1978.
|
|
Since then, I wrote my thesis (on emission lines in planetary nebulae)
|
|
on an Apple II, wrote the telemetry processing program with which NASA deduced
|
|
some of the early problems with the space telescope (its direct descendant is
|
|
still in use today), and lately a program that fixes a serious telemetry
|
|
formatting error on the EOS AM-1 satellite. I've written programs that
|
|
display tesseracts, simulate a star cluster with accurate stellar motions,
|
|
implement a new language (related to forth), and play the piano!
|
|
My interests include (in alphabetical order) 35mm photography, the
|
|
American Civil war, Astronomy, Beethoven, Chopin, Classical piano,
|
|
Cryptography, Explorer post 1275, Fixing old cars, History, Mathematics,
|
|
Rachmaninov, Science, Single Malt Scotch, Sports cars, Telescope making...
|
|
My wife and I have 2 kids, 2 cars, 2 birds and 1 18 year old cat.

Thanks to all our authors, not just the ones above, but also those who wrote
|
|
giving us their tips and tricks and making suggestions. Thanks also to our
|
|
new mirror sites. And a special thanks to Heather Stern for the great job
|
|
she is doing on htmlizing "The Answer Guy". It looks good and she's saving
|
|
me a lot of work. :-)

My wonderful father-in-law, Ralph Richardson, has moved to Seattle from
|
|
Southern California. He's been here almost 2 weeks now and it's been fun
|
|
helping him get settled in and seeing him on a much more frequent basis. I
|
|
know we'll get used to him being here all the time, but right now getting
|
|
to see so much of him feels like vacation. And I can use as much vacation
|
|
as I can get! :-)
|
|
<P>
|
|
Have fun!
