As we are all aware, Tim is simply the graduate project of an AI
student, running on a network Symbolics machines :-)

Honestly though, about me? Um, well, I'm now (along with Brian Lloyd)
the Product Management side of Digital Creations, and Zope, so I have a
very vested interest in seeing Python succeed---besides my general
belief that the better language SHOULd win. My background is actually
in architecture, but I've spent the past 5 years working in the
cryptography world, mostly in smart cards and PKI. My computer
background is bizarre, twisted and quite nefarious... having grown up on
a PDP-8/e, rather than PCs. And if the fact that I own 4 Lisp machines
means anything, I'm affraid to ask what!

For now, I'm just going to watch the masters at work. :-)
