I have been Happily marries for some 20+ years, work in the computer industry
and truly love what I do. Therefore I am really lucky/blessed. I have a really
supportive wife and a cool sister-in-law too.
We like a variety of things. Watching TV, Movie (don't do it as much),
books (now I am the audio book kind of guy - got hook on it when I was at IBM on
the road a lot.)
TV isn't as satisfying, we love
Hell's Kitchen and his
British shows
(Gordon Ramsey just cracks me up). But, this
What Gordon Ramsay can teach Software Developers is going a bit far!!
I am the only Survivor
fan, and none of us like American Idol (yuck) - and we all have watched
Law and Order since day one!!
Favorite Pastime
I was just having a discussion at work with a colleague about this very subject,
and we were talking about life and what we really want. In some ways we are both
searching, but in the end, he simply said that I am doing what I love. I was
like cool. I am a developer. I love to code, and its fun. BUT - during football
season, I am an animal. I like Windows programming the most, and have been doing
it since Windows 2.0. Client/server, interfaces, PDA whatever the app - did it.
Websites...well just let me say art isn't my strength :(
Projects/Hobbies
-
Focusing on some projects for Microsoft CodePlex.
-
Microsoft XNA GameStudio 2.0 and the BETA 3 - love it. Focusing
mainly on the PC side, not the XBox360 - but concepts for games are hard.
Usually ask my wife what she likes.
-
Continue learning all the cool new technologies in the .NET 3.5, with the WPF,
SilverLight, etc.
Work
Main job is working for Northrop
Grumman on a
Human Resources Project called DIMHRS (we
pronounce it 'DIMe-HERS'). It means, Defense Integrated
Human Resource System and its about helping the Servicemen, all of them, so
its really important!
We have some smart, fun people, many of whom were (and still are) affected by
Hurricane Katrina DIMHRS Continues
to Roll Forward.
I am the main developer for a tool that enables the Interface designers to create the
interfaces between the Service legacy systems and the
DIMHRS Oracle HR System. I also perform as on the Interface Dev team -
with Websphere WBIMB/MQ
- and Java, to create the interfaces - those designers come up with.
Currently, I am looking at
SandCastle for documentation
generation (unfortunately,
DocProject for SandCastle is not compatible with our environment) - we have
so little of it, and GhostDoc (by Roland
Weigelt) helps a lot in generating XML/rules.
