Howdy ya'll, (Translated "Hello Everyone") I'm a little new to online discussion of software development and open source largely because I am reasonably new to software development and open source (well, to the acknowledgement of OSS's importance and value). I'm almost 20 years old, a Jr. in college studying communications with a concentration in theatre. I had bugged my soon to be husband for so long with my curious questions regarding his lecturing in computer science and his relentless coding and bug hunting on every PC (or other platform) near him until I had picked up enough to be dangerous. My sorority needed a webmaster and needless to say, I took the job. Jon spent many hours teaching me the basics and some neat things and he coded lots of features for us. I really enjoyed it and began looking for other things that I could do along those lines. I am taking some interent technology classes this summer and have completed HTML and basic web design as well as a few entry level programming courses (VB, SQL (ANSI standard only), and C/C++). When not spending time with my sisters and / or Jon, I enjoy spending time with my horses, mice, and kittens. I also have a small boston terrier who drives me insane. Miranda -- J.
