M. A. in public sector management (Univ of Penn); and M. S. in computer science, most of a Ph. D. (not completed) in Germanic linguistics and literature, and B. A. in liberal arts, major English (Univ of TN).

I joined this wiki in 2007 and was around intermittently while working a variety of jobs in computer programming and consulting.
