-SamJansen. [Me | http://www.wand.net.nz/personDetail.php?id=211]. I attend WaikatoUniversity
. I used to run DebianLinux on my home computer
(along with MicrosoftWindows at times
), but I am now a [Gentoo] convert
. I do all my programming in [Vim]; I am a programmer by trade
. ProgrammingLanguage~s I use, in order of how much I use them include:
-
-* [C]
-* [C++]
-* [Python]
-* [TCL]/[OTCL]
-* [Perl]
-* [Java]
-* Any other random language I don't use much or was forced
to learn like [Scheme] / [Haskell] / [Lua] / etc.
-
-Note that
the above list says little about preference
. For example, [IHateJava]. [C++] is generally my language of choice, but I am also a big [Python] fan
.
+SamJansen. [Me | http://www.wand.net.nz/personDetail.php?id=211]. Member of the [WandGroup]
. PhD student
(TCP simulation
). Network researcher. Software engineer
. Moved
to the UK for a couple of years (worked for Intel Research and Barclays Capital)
. Then moved to California to work for Google
.
A favourite quotation of mine about [C++] is: ''I think I've finally decided to stop worrying and love [C++]: like democracy, it's terrible but the alternatives are much worse.'' -- [Thatcher Ulrich | http://www.tulrich.com/]
-I spend my time working on my PhD project in the WandGroup working with [FreeBSD]. These days I'm the TCP expert of the WandGroup. I added the FreeBSD network stack in the NS-2 network simulator as part of my honours project, and I am now continuing this research in my PhD. Information about this project can be found at [http://www.wand.net.nz/~stj2/]. Outside of computers, I watch sports (cricket and rugby), play cricket, do a fair amount of cycling and drink the odd beer.

-See BungGameEngine for something I've spent quite a bit of
my spare coding time on
.
-
-Some [C]/[C++] links of note:
-
-* [wxWidgets] (multi platform GUI -- like a much better MFC)
-* [OpenGL|http://www.opengl.org] (simple multi platform 3d graphics API)
-* SDL or SimpleDirectMediaLayer (decent multi platform DirectX-like library)
-
-Stuff I sort of maintain on the Wiki:
-
-* [C++Notes]
-* [MakeToSCons]
-* [LatexMakefiles]
-* [VimHowto]

-Something I can't stress enough:
-
-! If you happen to be writing a C/C++ application on Linux:
+I graduated WaikatoUniversity in 2004 after finishing my 4 year [BCMS] at the end of 2003. I obtained first class honours and won the Ramanujan Prize. Apparently the stream of my BCMS was "Artificial Intelligence", but that means nothing. Still enrolled in
my PhD and will submit oneday
.
-!!
! Use [Valgrind] for debugging. It is brilliant.

Deserves kudos for being the only non-GianPerrone to mention [PASL] on a Wiki page.
