<ul>
|
|
<li>From 1994 to 1997 I lived in New York City working as a teacher
|
|
of English as a second language, a translator, and then a computer
|
|
consultant. I put together some documents (Postscript generated
|
|
from TeX) while teaching English as a Second Language:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="pronunciation.ps">List of frequently mispronounced
|

</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>From March through August 1994 I lived in Bologna, Italy and
|
|
worked at the <a href="http://www.cs.unibo.it/">University of
|
|
Bologna Computer Science Dept.</a> I believe I designed the Dept.'s
|
|
first Web site, although it no longer exists. I also worked on a
|
|
paper (though not as a co-author) entitled "<a
|
|
href="http://www.cs.unibo.it/projects/relacs/abst9415.html">Replicated
|
|
File Management in Large-Scale Distributed Systems</a>". I coined
|
|
the name of the system: RELACS. One of the authors of the paper, <a
|
|
href="http://www.cs.unibo.it/~ozalp/">Ozalp Babaoglu</a>, was
|
|
responsible for my being able to work at the University, as was my
|
|
friend <a href="http://www.cs.unibo.it/~asperti/">Dr. Andrea
|
|
Asperti</a>, whom I had met while working at the <a
|
|
href="http://www.inria.fr/Unites/ROCQUENCOURT-fra.html">INRIA in
|
|
Rocquencourt</a>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>From early 1990 to 1994 I lived in Paris at 6 rue Saint Sulpice
|
|
and worked in the Chloe Project at the <a
|
|
href="http://www.inria.fr/Unites/ROCQUENCOURT-fra.html">INRIA in
|
|
Rocquencourt</a> (the project no longer exists, sadly). I worked on
|
|
a system called <a
|
|
href="http://www-sop.inria.fr/croap/centaur/centaur.html">
|
|
Centaur</a>, an generator of programming language environments,
|
|
that was produced by the <a
|
|
href="http://www-sop.inria.fr/croap/CROAP-eng.html">Croap
|
|
project</a> at INRIA Sophia and managed by Gilles Kahn. I was
|
|
responsible for all of the documentation and published several
|
|
INRIA reports about this work:

<li>I worked at the <a

|
|
from approximately September 1989 until January 1990 in the Croap
|
|
project on Centaur. I lived in the back of a small house outside
|
|
the village of Opio.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>I got a Master's Degree in Software Engineering from the Cerics
|
|
in Sophia Antipolois, France from the fall of 1988 until the
|
|
summary of 1989. My fellow students included Arnaud Le Hors,
|
|
Vincent Prunet, Renaud Marlet, and young colleague <a
|
|
href="../danield">Daniel Dardailler</a>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>I arrived in France in the fall of 1987 to work at the <a
|
|
href="http://www-cemef.cma.fr/">Ecole des Mines de Paris</a> in
|
|
Sophia Antipolis, France. I had a one year "stage" (internship)
|
|
that lasted until the fall of 1988.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>I graduated from <a href="http://www.yale.edu/">Yale</a> in May
|
|
1987, where I majored in Electrical Engineering. My primary fun
|
|
activity there was in an improvisational comedy group known as the
|
|
<a href="http://www.purplecrayon.org/">Purple Crayon</a>, founded
|
|
in 1985 by Eric Berg and 14 others of us. The group continues to
|
|
this day.</li>
