I'm currently working on completing my BS degree in Computer Science at Lakeland
|
|
College (begun earlier at the University of California, Riverside). I've been
|
|
involved in computer support for the past 6 years, via phone, fax, and email,
|
|
and I have created documentation for use by end users (some articles in the
|
|
Microsoft Knowledge Base) and other support staff (published in-house as either
|
|
individual documents or on the support intranet), and I contributed some
|
|
chapters to "Special Edition Using KDE" from Que publishing (now in print). I
|
|
have done some application development on MS-DOS platforms and have begun
|
|
developing a pair of applications for my Linux box. I am currently employed as
|
|
a software developer working in C++ with Informix on a mix of Linux and AIX
|
|
servers. When I'm not playing with or writing about Linux, I can usually be
|
|
found working on my model railroad.

Mike is the Editor of the <I>Linux Gazette</I>. You can read what he has to

|
say in the Back Page column in this issue. He has been a Linux enthusiast
|
|
since 1991 and a Debian user since 1995. He is SSC's web technical
|
|
coordinator, which means he gets to write a lot of Python scripts.

Esperanto.

<P> Next month <EM>Linux Gazette</EM> will have a new Editor: Jason Kroll.
|
|
Jason is the Technical Editor for <EM>Linux Journal</EM>, so you may know
|
|
him from his product reviews and Stupid Programming Tricks column. He is
|
|
a strong supporter/activist for free software, and I predict he is going
|
|
to have a lot of fun running the <EM>Gazette</EM>. Especially considering
|
|
the enthusiasm of its readers and contributors, as I have always commented.
|
|
|
|
<P> I will continue to work on technical aspects of SSC's web sites, which
|
|
means writing more web applications in Python, such as the <EM>LG</EM>
|
|
Discussion forums unveiled last month. (What do you guys think of them, by
|
|
the way?)
|
|
|
|
<P> Next month, Jason and I will be working together to produce the May issue.
|
|
The following month, he'll be on his own, because I'll be on VACATION in
|
|
England and Scotland, and not turning on a computer at all if I can help it!

<P> The following quote was sent to me by a coworker.
|
|
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
The classically minded among us may have noted a new TV
|
|
ad for Microsoft's Internet Explorer e-mail program which uses the
|
|
musical theme of the "Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's Requiem.
|
|
|
|
<P> "Where do you want to go today?" is the cheery line on the screen.
|
|
Meanwhile, the chorus sings "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus
|
|
addictis."
|
|
|
|
<P> This translates to "The damned and accursed are convicted to the
|
|
flames of hell."
|
|
|
|
<P> Good to know that Microsoft has done its research.
