Jim (SS) Software Developer (Senior) United States Administrator, Manager, Author, Member

Wrote my first code in machine language on a navigation computer in a submarine. Actually started while in school in the early '80s. I've worked on simulation systems for military and NASA, embedded radio controls, medical systems, PDA business software, as well as a variety of other things.   I currently live in sunny Arizona, where we have 9 months of summer and 3 months of "Hades" per year. Believe it or not, you feel cool after getting out of the pool, for a while, even when the temperature is over 100 degrees.

Roger Wright Engineer Aha Macav Power Service/Fort Mojave Tribal Utiliti United States Administrator, Manager, Author, Member

BS Electrical & Electronics Engineering Thirteen years experience designing & programming measurement & control instrumentation. Seven years working as Systems Manager for a local Ace Hardware chain. Currently employed by the local Indian tribe at their electric utility, building substations, automating meter reading, mapping the system and inventory with GPS, and now that we've absorbed the water and sewer system, designing sewer and water lines, sewer lift stations, and developing wells. Programming experience using assembly, FORTRAN, BASIC, HP JCL, Prolog, Ada, Pascal, hpl, ; currently learning VC# and having "fun" with ASP.Net. Avid darts player, though not a good one... Fair to excellent 12-string guitar player, depending on who you ask. Spare time spent fishing, reading, and playing with the neighbor's cat (see picture). Second degree black belts in Hapkido and Taekwondo. Past President of the local Kiwanis Club, past Director of the United Way, and no longer a member of either. Have held licenses as a Real Estate broker and Securities dealer - once ordained as a minister on a whim. My latest certificate was earned without any hands on experience at all - Yamaha Certified 5-Star Technician for motorcycles, ATVs, and watercraft. What next? Raised in sunny California, before it became the Peoples' Republic of California. Relocated to Arizona to escape being homeless after peace broke out. Objective: To learn all there is to know. I know I'll be disappointed one day, but I've made a good start, and the eventual disappointment is likely to be brief.
