I'm an undergraduate ex-student of Computer Sciences. I left the university
|
|
for economic reasons and now I'm technical consultant and writer. I have been
|
|
programming since the age of 15, but I made my first real programs when I was in
|
|
the university, except for a tetris clone.

|
|
I'm a software developer by day and an artist, web developer,
|
|
big dog, gardener and wine maker by night. This all leaves very little
|
|
time for sleep, but always enough time for a nice glass of Michigan
|
|
Pinot Gris. I have a BS double major in Computer Science and
|
|
Mathematics and an MS in Computer Science. I've been using and
|
|
modifying Linux since the 0.9x days. I can be reached via email at
|
|
<A HREF="mailto:kasten@sunpuppy.com">kasten@sunpuppy.com</A> or through
|

|
|
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.

<P> There's been a flurry of activity behind the scenes this month.
|
|
The Answer Gang is finally on track and has taken over all tech-support
|
|
questions to the <I>Gazette</I>. We're also experimenting with ways to
|
|
improve the TAG index and <I>LG</I> FAQ to make it easier to find previous
|
|
answers to (and articles about) frequently-asked questions.
|
|
|
|
<P> This issue also marks the debut of the new cartoon series
|
|
Tuxedo Tails.

<P> News Bytes was not available by the publishing deadline and will return

next month.
