I've Done A Reasonable Amount Of Travelling,

C Was Already Implemented On Several Quite Different Machines And Oss, Unix Was Already Being Distributed On The Pdp-11, But The Portability Of The Whole System Was New

I've Done A Reasonable Amount Of Travelling, Which I Enjoyed, But Not For Too Long At A Time. I'm A Home-body And Get Fatigued By It Fairly Soon, But Enjoy Thinking Back On Experiences When I've Returned And Then Often Wish I'd Arranged A Longer Stay In The Somewhat Exotic Place.

Obviously, The Person Who Had Most Influence On My Career Was Ken Thompson.

I Fix Things Now And Then, More Often Tweak Html And Make Scripts To Do Things.

Unix Is Simple And Coherent, But It Takes A Genius (or At Any Rate, A Programmer) To Understand And Appreciate Its Simplicity.
