I went to high school with Kris Wiese, don't know if they are related
or not. My memory of school is getting sketchier by the minute.<br>
<br>
The name sounds familiar, though.<br>

Good idea, and I hope it catches on...
I am a member of the UI staff, I work in HR (please, no hate mail about
our benefits and whatnot - I'm just a programmer). I take care of the
HR and Payroll modules of our administrative system. I panic when there
is a problem with the payroll, and work on other projects when I'm not
doing that. Luckily, problems with the payroll don't arise that often.
I grew up here in Moscow (I actually moved here when I was five). I
went through public school here and then ended up graduating from the U
of I in Math and CS, after a couple of years at Annapolis. I'm a
computer geek, I spend much of my time programming either at work or at
home on my own projects. I'm interested in helping out with a few open
source projects as well. I'm continually juggling programming projects
at home. Currently, I'm working on a program that will (hopefully)
learn to play the game of go well, a stocks program, and a "reverse"
ray-tracer. Plus a few odds-and-ends type of projects here and there.
I also spend a lot of time playing around with my linux boxes, which is
where I do all my programming.
I'm also interested in japanese, both as a language and a culture. I
watch a lot of japanese-language movies, sometimes with no subtitles,
and even understand a phrase here and there. I also listen to japanese
music, and find that I can actually stomach their pop scene. Maybe
because I can't understand most of it. Even though I'm over 40, I still
enjoy playing video games - I just can't fit them in very often.
Occasionally, I get outside and find that I don't catch fire when under
the bright sun. Somehow, I need to work in some more vacation time so I
can do my favorite thing in the world, which is to sit at a picnic table
by a river or a lake in the shade and play solitaire until I'm bored
silly, then just lie down and watch the clouds go by. That, or play a
really intense game of Quake at a LAN party.

exactly what. So, out of possibly misplaced curiosity, I was thinking
of starting a thread for people to tell the Viz who they are and
what, exactly, it is that they do.
I was also hoping to go ten minutes without a flame war. Don't know
that that's going to happen.
