I have been a
Programmer for most of my adult and adolescent life, my grandfather taught me to program in
BASIC and about basic spreadsheet formulas in
Microsoft Works, which I had to remember after he passed to help my grandmother balance her checkbook. I have worked at some interesting companies in the IT field, including
TurboLinux, whose Wikipedia entry I've been meaning to improve since the last time they hit
Slashdot.
Of course, I didn't just learn about Wikipedia from Steven Colbert last week, I should have been contributing and I'm hoping that my return to school will help to get me in that habit and get some credit for it.
