Cool Stuff - not mine

• Aspect Oriented Programming - Aspect J

Interests aka Hobbies

• Real Estate
• Computer Programming - Naturally
• Banging my head against NP-hard problems
  • Integer Factorization
  • 3-SAT
  • Not-SAT (pretty sure it's not NP, but can't prove. The proof should be simple and lie in the fact that the growth of the number of choices allowed by each new clause (i.e x3) grows faster than the number of choices that can be eliminated by assigning a value to a variable (i.e., x2).)
