Currently teaching myself Fortran 90 with Fortran 90 for Engineers and Scientists by Nyhoff and Leestma. It is, in my opinion, a great text. I recommend it highly. I have also provided a lengthy list of Fortran resources for others with similar needs or interests.
My favorite techie web site is the Arstechnica Forum. Well maintained with many thread categories and a very large base of contributors.
I work for the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville where I'm the Senior Administrator for High Performance Computing. As of mid-July 2007, my new office will be in room 348 of the J.B. Hunt Center for Academic Excellence.
Update: As of May 2, 2008 my main office will be ADSB 239-B.
Before this job, I spent 20 years doing techie jobs in the corporate world. AAAAARRGGHHH!!! The Dilbert comic strips by Scott Adams have it SO RIGHT! Oh well, lesson learned. I now keep a wide berth between myself and that "alternate reality".
I'm a fan of dry techie humor...such as this accumulation of quotes from Sandia Nat'l Labs.
I also do a bit of creative writing when the mood takes me. I'll add more as I have time.
I love the mountains! Here's a shot of me at 14,267' atop Torrey's Peak in Colorado. Awesome view! I hope to someday trek thru the Himalayas. Everest has become too crowded, but to the west lie Dhauligiri and Annapurna both of which are also over 8000 meters in height and are located in a more remote region.
