• Computer Science. This is what I do all day. I'm glad I love what I do.

  • Research-wise, I'm interested in computer security, systems, networking, distributed systems, programming languages, and databases. (I listed so many things, maybe I should just say what I'm not interested in!)

  • Some other computing-related topics:

    • Programming languages (Python, Perl, Java, C++, Lisp, Ocaml, ...)

    • Emacs
    • Operating systems
    • Debian, GNU, Linux
    • Version control (Subversion)
    • P2P
