When I first used this site it was wonderful. Professional programmers helping each other while learning. Now I cannot ask a question without showing what I have done because people aren`t here to do free work. I used to do free work and I enjoyed it - see my old answers below - but these days all people seem to care about is whether you are cheating at homework. So I no longer participate here. I work on projects that mix computing and physics - I have a pile of experience as a software engineer, but my education, way back in the day, was as an astronomer. It was research in astronomy that first took me to Chile, where I now live. So I telecommute from Santiago, working with companies in the USA and UK. Currently I`m part of a small team developing software related to geophysics - I guess you could call it a consultancy, but really we`re just people that understand what you need and then - importantly! - make it. Some of my favourite answers: In every case I learnt something new, which is was what`s so good about this site :)
