Hi, my real name is Jonathan, and my real job is a software engineer. I discovered halfbakery way back in 2003 at the beginning of my graduate studies (PhD in Astronomy), but closed out my account and never got back to it. Now that I graduated, I will hopefully get back to it a bit more now.

Note: some of my ideas got erased, so I'm posting them anew. After almost 6 years, I hope no one will mind reading them again.

You want to know even more about me? Lookup- http://jdevor.com

Later, Jonathan
