Hi Don,

I'm a computer programmer by profession, and I've always been interested in
attempting to make computers do seemingly intelligent things.  This led me to
write a computer chess program, but like Sean, at otb I suck.  I very rarely
play chess.  I got a 900'ish rating on FICS when I played for a while.

Cheers, Tim.
