Went to school for Microcomputing Technology, then for Electronics Technology, then worked for a while, then got two years into Electronics Engineering before running out of money and realizing that I should have gone for Computer Engineering back in '99.

Right now I assemble, test, and calibrate photonics equipment. While doing this I have to restrain myself from developing/rewriting the test fixture programs.

I'm a bit of a programming linguist; I know VB/VBA, C/C++, Python, Java. I can figure out pretty much any language from a few examples, but I'm not exactly fluent in any of them.
