Greetings,
I have done lots of anon edits and gnoming, and decided I ought to have a home here.
I work for The TOVA Company in Portland, Oregon programming in Java and C. I run scholastic chess tournaments for Chess for Success and coach my local elementary school team.
I used to work on Ward's wiki. My home there: c2:IanOsgood. I also did some code-knitting on Rosetta Code, a Program Chrestomathy.
Interests
- Computer chess
- Computer go (Amazed that AlphaGo came out of nowhere to become the best Go player in the world!)
- History of chess and its offshoots shogi, makruk, and xianqui
- Space topics
- Timeline of spaceflight (upcoming)
- Amateur rocketry - I was a member of the Portland State Aerospace Society, working on their high power rocket and avionics testbed. And their new OreSat project became the first cubesat designed in Oregon!
- Space colonization
- new space companies like SpaceX, Rocket Lab, and Blue Origin
- the new US manned initiatives for commercial cargo and commercial crew
- Astronomy
- Sagittarius A* the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way
- Astronomy Picture of the Day
- Bicycle commuting
- Battery electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, especially those from Arcimoto, Tesla, Inc., and Aptera Motors (
RIPresurrected!) - Alternate energy, especially solar power and liquid fluoride thorium reactors
- Volcanology: Erta Ale, Ol Doinyo Lengai, blue flame sulphur lava of Ijen, and of course, local Mount St. Helens
- Forth programming language
- Esoteric programming languages such as SNUSP - SNUSP was an article I originally authored (although I now think it and most other esoteric programming languages are effectively research or vanity projects, and should live on the esoteric programming language wiki instead)
- Wikipedia:Unusual articles

Hooray! The <source> tag started supporting Forth around February 2017.
