I'm married to Marilyn Sitaker, the most beautiful woman in creation. I live in Dayton. I've written toy programs and hacked on non-toy programs. I'm 7887 days old today. I'm most fluent in English, HTML, C, C++, mathematical notation, sh, and Perl; I'm less fluent in French, Pascal, x86 assembler, csh, Japanese, and Spanish. My desk usually tends to be messy. I shave nearly every day. I have several obsolete and/or broken machines around my house. I joined the Internet in 1992, when I was thousands of days younger and considerably less mature; toad.com, as the host of the cypherpunks mailing list, was my introduction to the culture of the Internet. Is that what you wanted to know? > * your address (EMail, URL (if any) and Postal address) I live at kragen@pobox.com and http://www.pobox.com/~kragen/; my house is Arden, 6 Pinehurst, Dayton OH 45403. > * why you want to be an IOCCC judge I think the IOCCC is wonderful, and I'll do whatever I can -- within reason -- to keep it alive. If I'm not a judge, I'll submit entries. > * which of the above areas interest you, and why I'm not sure what some of them actually mean. Kragen
