Awww Matt, I can't get away from you! 8-) 

Matt & I used to work at the same place...

I'm a Geophysicist at Shell, currently at the research lab. I just managed to get
the latest version of Perl/Tk loaded worldwide onto our servers, so now I can
start deploying a few of my perl toys I've written. 

I use perl for everything, pretty much. My webpage (ajackson.org) has a few things
on it. I'm currently writing my own Bayesian e-mail filter. I want it to not
only detect spam, but also learn what interests me and flag those e-mails as well.

For websites, I'm just completing a rewrite for my church, using HTML::WebMake, which
is a fairly nice templating system by the author of Spamassassin, which is also
pretty nice, BTW. I recommend both.

I support PostScript::MailLabel and PlotCalendar in CPAN, and also have weather station
software.

And I'm a rabid Linux supporter. Let's hear it for the Penguin!
