    <p>I have been involved in computers and networking for well over half my life -- I guess that makes me an old-timer. Not old enough to have used the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET#Software_and_protocols" rel="nofollow">pre-Internet (NCP) ARPAnet</a>, but old enough to have used the ARPAnet and applied a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_tap" rel="nofollow">vampire tap</a> to an original Ethernet cable. I love the new networking technologies, too: IPv6 and multicasting will both catch on someday (soon). My programming mind was permanently warped by learning <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETL" rel="nofollow">SETL</a> at an early age (I was a senior in high school taking an intro CS course at NYU).</p> <p>My interest in (natural) languages goes back even further; I have always loved learning languages and have tried my hand at more than a half-dozen of them (I am still competent in a few). The specific application of it to internationalization/localization grew out of my experience with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLPC_XO-1" rel="nofollow">OLPC XO-1</a> computers I got for my daughter.</p> <p>I have also developed an interest in online social communities and collaboration; not just the open source movement, but open data as well, which grew out of my participation in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MusicBrainz" rel="nofollow">MusicBrainz</a> project. This has been informed by my informal anthropological experience as the life partner of an academic anthropologist and my participation in her fieldwork in Guatemala.</p>
