Wiki, for me, has been a major
AhHa experience.
I was addicted to Wiki immediately upon discovering it in August 2000, but amazed that it took me so long to find it. I'm a long-time software engineer, currently acting as Director of Streaming Applications at
SorensonMedia.
I started coding in 1977 by writing printer-drivers for
RadioShack TRS-80 Model I computers. I also spent a bunch of time on timeshared machines running PDP-11, MVS, and similar abominations, but microcomputers were my first and on-going love.
I've worked at a lot of great companies (including
WordPerfect,
NovellCorporation,
AppleComputer, and
SorensonMedia), in really great places (
LosAngeles, Utah, and Munich), and on great technologies (
OpenDoc,
CyberDog,
QuickTime, among many others). I've also occasionally flirted with being useful in a handful of
InternetEngineeringTaskForce (IETF)
WorkingGroups. I prefer to work for places that strive to and believe they are improving humanity.
I knew Wiki was going to get deep into my blood when, at least once a day for several months after discovering
WardsWiki, I came up with another great topic around which I would like to start one of my own Wikis. I've installed
TwikiClone, but haven't moved much farther than playing around yet. I'm impressed with
RandyKramer's work in compiling a
WikiEngineReview. I'll add my comments to it soon.
My most passionate current project is developing adaptive therapy software for children with autism and other
PervasiveDevelopmentalDisorders. This is still a hobby for me until I get farther along with my project.
