The pic of urs, seem like u r watching some game?

I don't think you would want me to cut your hair!

The picture was taken at PAC Bell park in San Francisco last summer. At the time I was actually trying to find PY222 in the bay area

, but ended up taking the family to see Barry Bonds hit one of his 395,758,330 home runs

at a baseball game. (See interview question about "next holiday").

It's really good to be able to get to know you and your family better.

Ahh.. Here is one question we missed, I think.

Why do you call yourself "Ishtim"?

Also, what do your parents do? Were you originally from Huntsville, Alabama?

The name "Ishtim" is from a Fortran program that I use. All it does is display standard output on monitor.

When the program fails or writes bad data, people ask "Have you checked your Ishtim???"

Only a n00b at my work would not know that the parameter does next to nothing!

My parents are retired!

They live out in the countryside about an hour drive from my house. My dad used to work in the space program designing and building navigation systems for outer space.

I am originally from Houston, Texas. I spent the first 25 years of my life there. Very hot, humid and tropical weather there. Moved to Alabama in December of 1993 to go back to school. Worked part-time through Uni and now am "happy"

to be working here where 34.3% percent of people 25yrs+ have higher education, that's compared to the US average of 19.0%.

Sorry ZuePhOk, no Forrest Gumps here.
