Hi -dev,

If we could join our collective congratulatory statements here, and
welcome a new developer onboard, Alex Howells (or Astinus as you'll know
him).

Alex hails from Wales, where he's currently studying "Software
Engineering". He's learning Java, but says he can't wait to get onto all
the fun (and frustration) of C and C++. We say "learning" because by his
own admission, as it currently stands "it could be plausibly argued that
I can't program my way out of a wet napkin." We assume that the entry
requirements for a wet napkin are sufficiently low.

In accordance with his work at the UK Ministry of Defence, he has been
dubbed our "covert dev" - 008 "License to break the tree". (This is of
course intended only as a joke).

Alex will be joining the AMD64 team, to contribute documentation and
squash bugs, so please welcome him aboard.
