About
Born in Buffalo, NY, grew up in Hawaii and California, married in 1989, moved to St. Joseph, MO in 2005 and moved again to Madison, WI in 2017. After having a number of jobs that took me away from home, I am finally able to go home every day after work. We attend Rchurch and enjoy meeting with other Christians to worship and learn about God.

Pursuing Best
There were several radar dish mounts that refused to align properly at Honeywell Aerospace, after much troubleshooting and head scratching, it was determined that the cause was a particular run of control ICs that were not quite up to par.
Alignment
The mechanical version of radar dish mount alignment.

Multiplication Puzzle
Experimenting with Linux operation systems (usually without wiping out the pre-installed Windows already on the computer). Playing a Multiplication Puzzle game that replaces all the numbers in a multiplication problem with letters, and your job is to put the numbers back. There is a solver program that is helpful, but often did not work, out of curiosity I learned a little of Python programming and fixed the program, source code here. version 4. Also written in C and running about 10 times faster version C. I have re-written the solver program in Ruby and Fortran also, I guess I am multi-lingual! (haha)
Here is a link to PHP version!
Nonosweeper
I have also been playing a game called Nonosweeper (their
home page), and wrote a program to solve the
puzzle, but there are too many combinations to solve a
15x12 puzzle also written in C, perhaps it can be
improved... nonosolve.c.
New Man
'New Man' from John G Lake Ministries is a great teaching on our abilities as believers in Christ.
