Occupation: Retired Chemist, retired construction mgr.
HTML and CSS guru, and part-time web designer for last 2 years, but only actively for 1 of those years, approximately. Still working and "dabbling" :-) with MySQL4 and PHP4 - a mild addiction that's hard to quit! -
UPDATE 11/02/2003 - retired from web design work TOO!!
My only work left is some delicate and fine sculptor of 2 very young grandchildren - AHH! - and what a joy that work is.
Atheism (no less than 27 years, have I been a convinced non-believer) on Mondays, Agnostic the other 6, but I do appreciate the fundamental beauty of nature's spirituality, believe in the infinitely complex evolution of mankind (and of everything else), and try to follow my own wise pursuit of truth.
My interests these days are, of course, science (evolution and chemistry primarily), contemporary and ancient history, reading, more reading and some listening to keep it all honest. Occasionally, the future of HTML as XML and all that web crap still interests me.
