Hello all,

My name is Alan Blaine Stone (I go by Blaine, so from now on you will se
email from Blaine).  I live and work at Camp Zama, Japan, as a
Computer/Telecommunications Research Specialist, although my main job is
computer systems security.  I am also a graduate student with the
Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Auburn University.  My
major areas of study/interest are in Graphical User Interface Design,
and Human Computer Interaction.  Other areas of study have included AI,
formal languages and automata, atm, and Oracle database programming.  I
like working with Perl and Tcl/Tk, as some of my C++ code for school
shows this time.  I started using Linux about six months ago, although I
had a pretty good background in Unix.  I began on a Mac, and over the
years became upset at where things were going.  I like many others made
the switch to Win95, then Win NT, then OS/2.....the rest is history.

I have a home built "Akihabara Power-house."  I'm running Red Hat Linux
4.1.  Most of the projects I have done for school have been with
OSF/Motif, although I am personally attracted to AfterStep.

I have a beautiful wife and two boys (5 and 4).  I'm 34 (wife the same
&%$@# ouch), she saw that last comment.  I have lived here in Japan for
three years.

Well that's about it for an introduction.  I hope to hear, and meet some
or all of you in the future.  Thanks for the great welcome.

Blaine :>)
