<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
English words</a></li>
<li><a href="tenses.ps">English Verb Tenses</a></li>
<li><a href="modals.ps">English Modal Verbs</a></li>
</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:
<ol>
<li>RT-0150 <a href="http://www.inria.fr/RRRT/RT-0150.html">The
Sophtalk reference manual</a></li>
<li>RT-0149 <a href="http://www.inria.fr/RRRT/RT-0149.html">
Sophtalk tutorials</a></li>
<li>RT-0140 <a href="http://www.inria.fr/RRRT/RT-0140.html">A
Centaur tutorial</a></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>I worked at the <a
href="http://www.inria.fr/Unites/SOPHIA-fra.html">INRIA Sophia</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>
