[FRPythoneers] Hello

[Michael Kramlich]

Hey folks, I just joined the list and wanted to say hi and introduce  
myself.

My name is Mike Kramlich and I just moved back from Chicago after  
living there for 3 years (mostly working at Orbitz as a Senior  
Engineer in Operations Architecture), and wanted to get in touch with  
Python people out here. I grew up in Colorado so it's nice to be back.

I'm generally into Apple, open source and Unix-y stuff. And all  
things Python. And I dabble in game design and amateur fiction  
writing. I have a background doing C, C++ and Java (mostly) and feel  
that Python strikes the best balance so far between all the tradeoffs  
made in language design. I'm a bit of a language geek, but not too  
hard-core, so I'm kind of admiring things like D, Erlang, Lisp,  
Stackless and Jython, for various reasons. But right now Python is my  
default "hammer" for getting things done.

Looking forward to my first meeting, looks like the September 17th one.

thanks,

Mike
