Who is Tim Roberts, anyway?
|
 |
|
| Overview |
|
 |
Tim
Roberts is the name of a technology geek in Tigard, Oregon,
just southwest of Portland. |
|
I'm
a partner in a computer consulting company, Providenza
& Boekelheide, Inc. |
|
I
started programming computers in 1970, using an ASR33 Teletype. |
|
In
7th grade, I knew what I would do for a living. Sure enough,
I'm doing it. |
|
I
love my job. When I get up in the morning, I look forward to
going to work. There aren't a lot of people who can say
that. |
|
I am an INTJ. |
|
| Family |
|
|
I've
been married for 27 years. |
|
We
have a daughter, 18, and a son, 14. |
|
We
also have a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier named Millie.
She's awfully cute; I recommend you follow the link. |
|
We
also have a Toy Poodle named
Abby.
She's pretty cute, too. Abby is convinced she is
a Doberman; she spends much of her time intimidating Millie.

| Miscellaneous |
|
|
I
like exploring new things. That's why I started the web
log. |
|
I've
used a lot of computers, with a lot of operating systems, in a lot
of languages over the years. |
|
Python
is my current favorite language. Flexible, expressive, and
readable. As I mature, I've discovered that readability is
worth more than most people think. |
|
I
drive a minivan. If I were 23, I'd be embarrassed about
that. Not any more. It's practical and comfortable. |
