Computer interests

My favorite programming language is Python, though I'm also quite adept in C and C++. Over the years I've probably used over 30 or more languages, and I have a particular fancy for functional languages.

Linux and other Unix operating systems are where I spend most of my computing time. I have done a lot of systems-level and network programming, Unix systems and network administration, as well as specializing in computer security and cryptographic applications and protocols.

I have a lot of experience in all aspects of website construction, everthing from the low-level details of the network protocols to design and usability. I'm particularly facinated with web-based application programming and have even written several successful frameworks of my own.
