>The profile of a conlanger
A little late, but I'll play:
Germano-Slavic-Celtic American
31
Married since I was 21
Three kids -- 6-year old twin boys, 3-year old boy
Brown hair
Brown eyes
Glasses
No facial hair
Congregationalist, but raising 3 Catholics
Programmer (I think we have a disproportionate number of programmers on this
list, but that's just a guess)
Didn't take the Myers-Briggs test, but I'm the most extraverted introvert I
know, but am definitely an introvert.
Best regards,
Jeffrey Henning

"If Microsoft is not recording monopoly profits, who is? In its latest
quarter, the software giant recorded $2.0 billion in net income on $4.9
billion in revenue. That's a return of 40.2 cents on every dollar of sales.
After expenses. After taxes. By way of comparison, the average return on
revenue for all the companies in the 1998 Fortune 500 was 4.9 cents on the
dollar. If software were really all that competitive, Microsoft would not
reap profits 8 times that of the rest of industry." -- Tom
