 I am a software engineer and consultant in the Knoxville, TN area. I enjoy working with different programming languages and technologies. I am currently working on an open source analysis platform which I will be able to share more once it has gone public. Stay tuned for that update. It is based on the NetBeans Rich Client Platform and should be cool.Check out my resume for more information on what I have done in the past. Too, see the announcements section for news updates. You should also check out the blog. I put longer article type content there. Occasionally I have some information which is worth while ;-) I like to do different things. I wish I had more time. I suppose we all wish that. If I did, I would have both an electronic and mechanical/metal work shop along with my office. I have many ideas for simple electronics I will share only if I have time to develop them or decide I never will and it is best to get the information out in case someone else will. Same for mechanical. One which I never imagine having the time for, and I have written off thanks to Android, is a Linux and Java based personal device. I had that idea years ago when devices were not powerful enough to do what I want. They are still more limited than I would like, but seems they are moving along, and too it doesn't hurt that Google has the money to move it forward. I need transparent and spreadable display material before I can take my ideas on such things to the next level, so I will simply leave it there. I enjoy fishing and finding new streams to explore. I don't need to be fishing to enjoy exploring a stream. I like to jump in and just have fun. Part of the fun for me is being close to nature and examining the wildlife; I live near the Great Smoky Mountains, so that makes it easier I suppose. I would like to get a new bicycle. I haven't had one in years. I have been checking out some areas which would be nice to ride. The latest I saw was between Abingdon, VA and Bristol, VA and between Bristol, TN and Greenville, TN. Bristol is a border town in case you are wondering. Maybe I will have something to post about it in the next year or two. I have been thinking another canoe or small boat for paddling would be nice. Just hit a slow moving river and go exploring while getting some exercise. Perhaps a kayak. I have no desire for white water however. Rocks hurt too much! Anyways, much more to add. I am in the process of playing with Google Sites and Apps, so I will be updating the site soon. Keep an eye out. |
