The short Bio as related to Perl:<BR>
<P>Discovered Perl in 1994. It's been my favorite language
since then. I do tend to use English a little more.
I've used a lot of other languages, but it would depress
me to list them all.</P>
<BR>other bits:<BR>
<P>I'm a tech generalist. I have done QA, Dev, Management,
Support, and IT. Sometimes all at once.</P>
<p>Currently not working in the tech field at all. Working as a Adoption Coordinator for [http://adoptions.bestfriends.org|Best Friends] in Kanab, Utah. And yes, sometimes it is practically herding cats.</p>
<p>No longer working at Best Friends, my wife still works there while I work on my [http://flickr.com/photos/lemming552|Photography] [http://lemmingphoto.com|Work]. The web page is way out of date as of April 2011, but should be much more interesting in the summer.
<P>
<BR>I'd prefer my location to be (55.45.23, -6.17.14),
but I don't think the job market for Perl programmers
is that strong there. Hint: I really like the style of
scotch from there.</P>
<P>Musical tastes, rock of various sorts and some favorites
in no particular order: Siouxsie and the Banshees,
[id://53905|BÖC], Liz Phair, Devo, Kate Bush, NIN, Ministry,
Cracker, REM, Animals, Cramps, J Geils Band, Jim Carrol,
Sisters of Mercy, Warren Zevon, and Jefferson Airplane.</P>
<STRONG>The Nickname:</STRONG><BR>
<P>I rolled my car off a cliff in 1980 and the name
just stuck. My friend and I were able to walk away with
minor injuries. I had a concussion and some cuts on my
hand where it hit the windshield. My friend had a sprained
wrist. I don't remember the previous hour before we were
getting out of the car though. The car was not totaled!
Should have been, it had a layer of bondo on the roof that
was two inches thick. That shattered five years later when
a branch fell on top of the car.<br>
People started using lemming as my last name, I used it as my login at UCSC for the first time in 1982. Online, I'm either lemming, lemming552, or icepirate it seems. The 552 was just a random number, icepirate from the movie and a character I play in a RPG, Champions.</P>
Random stuff:<BR>
