Tom has been working with computers since 1978.
Since then, I wrote my thesis (on emission lines in planetary nebulae)
on an Apple II, wrote the telemetry processing program with which NASA deduced
some of the early problems with the space telescope (its direct descendant is
still in use today), and lately a program that fixes a serious telemetry
formatting error on the EOS AM-1 satellite.  I've written programs that
display tesseracts, simulate a star cluster with accurate stellar motions,
implement a new language (related to forth), and play the piano!
My interests include (in alphabetical order) 35mm photography, the
American Civil war, Astronomy, Beethoven, Chopin, Classical piano,
Cryptography, Explorer post 1275, Fixing old cars, History, Mathematics,
Rachmaninov, Science, Single Malt Scotch, Sports cars, Telescope making...
My wife and I have 2 kids, 2 cars, 2 birds and 1 18 year old cat.
