What exactly is Toady's programming background? Does he have any degrees? I do recall something of him being a mathematician or something of the sort. Anyway, I imagine he has some sort of formal credentials, and am curious what those might be.

You stalker.

Doctorate in math, self-taught programmer.

This is his daddy.  So to speak.

My least common ancestor with Toady is Poisson.  There weren't a lot of mathematicians running around circa 1800.

[Ampersand]

I posted his Dissertation somewhere.

I wonder if Toady is beginning to get afraid of us. 

I'm suprised at how much information we have on him as a community.

Thanks for that link to the Genealogy project. I want to go find a couple of my CompSci professors on there again.

It's cool how strongly exponential growth expresses itself in the genealogy project.  If you were alive 600 years ago and taught one person, but your teach propagated to a small critical mass, you are almost ensured to have many thousands of descendants, who in a way, are being taught by you.  Kinda makes me want to be a teacher.  Teach a few students today and the great people of a few hundred years from now are learning due to your influences.

Wait... what if Toady taught a few students df style programing... dear Gods!

Neat, by the way anyone know where Toady's name (real one) stems from? I'm just curious.

What, you've never heard of the Adams family?

He does live next to a swamp, as I remember. Maybe the Graveyard is on the other side.

Good lord people...

[Armok]

Hilarious!

I think all donations from this month will be spent hiring someone to be Toady's bodygaurd and screen his calls and such.

He doesn't need a bodyguard.  If anyone hostile approaches him, there are at least four fans stationed around him at all times to surreptitiously take them down.  He must not know of his guardians, though, or else the world would kerplode.
