I recently had a lot of fun writing a blog post which FRIAMers may enjoy reading. It's a short walk down memory lane on how we used to write research papers in the mid eighties: http://www.soabloke.com/2009/01/04/macintosh-at-twenty-five/

BTW I have lurked on this mailing list for a while now and have never properly introduced myself, so I'll take this opportunity to do so.

I work as an enterprise IT architect for TIBCO Software. I'm based in Melbourne Australia, but operate across Australia, India and Southeast Asia. I haven't always been in IT as I spent much of the eighties working in Astrophysics. In 1987 I worked for a year at the NRAO (VLA) in Socorro NM. I have fond memories of ocassionally escaping to Albuquerque and Santa Fe for some culture and good coffee...so I feel I have a distant connection with the Santa Fe aspect of FRIAM. From 1989 to 1992 I post-doc'ed at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore where I worked on the Hubble Space Telescope during launch and the subsequent first few years. Another post-doc after that at University of Melbourne and I headed out into the IT world where I've since worked in various areas such as GIS, enterprise messaging and more lately SOA and Complex Event Processing. I've had a long interest in complexity, modeling and simulation. A significant part of my PhD thesis involved modeling populations of quasars so I could understand various observational selection effects in my data. In my current CEP work I'm working around some angles with respect to agent-based simulation and workflow, although its very simple stuff.

Regards,
Saul
