Thanks, Kristofer. Nice to hear from you.

I'm Kevin Shaum; I work for BMC Software, in the documentation group. I'm not 
a tech writer myself; I write tools for use by the tech writers, for 
producing on-line help. I mostly use Perl, but I do a little Python and Java 
as well.

I've been programming professionally since 1984, with experience in FORTRAN, 
Ada, C, Pro*C, C++, Java, Perl, and Python. I spent most of that time working 
for NASA contractors, but I left that industry in 1997.

If we do start a HoustonTx.pm website, may I suggest we use MovableType 
(http://www.movabletype.org/) and set it up as a multi-author weblog? MT is 
written in Perl, naturally, and is easier to set up and administrate than 
Slash (http://slashdot.org/) or Scoop (http://www.kuro5hin.org/).
