It's my usual please to announce a new ebuild monkey. Justin hails from
Brighton, Massachusetts. His educational background should provide a
good theoretical approach to all the future flames on gentoo-dev:
"I'm pretty much self taught computer wise as I went to the University
of Maine in order to get my Master's in Mathematics where I focused on
abstract algebra and number theory, I liked the challenges of
discovering proofs, and pretty much ignored any real applications."

Please give him the normal welcome.

Regards,
Petteri

PS. Uncle Seemant told me he was mentoring him so that he could himself
retire at some point so now it's time to start persuading him to stay
again :)

Welcome Justin!

If you like beautiful code with firm mathematical underpinnings and a
slight lack of real applications you'll love Haskell ;-)

You're most welcome to come chat with us in #gentoo-haskell

Hmm, a mystery developer.

Hi Justin, I wonder why I haven't seen you on the functional programming side
of Gentoo, you being a maths guy and all. Anyway, welcome and don't let the
Haskell guys fool you ;P

Justin, welcome.  Perhaps you ran into the Banach-Tarski "paradox", at
least, so that you know how to make mountains out of molehills.
(Necessary for any good flame war.)

Sorry about that.  Other mathematicians always welcome.  :)

Welcome Justin!

I spent a lot of time in the Boston area.  In fact, I had a car stolen
from Brighton once!  They found it in Mattapan in the "woods".  I'm in
the Rockies now, but I do miss New England.

@yaar the haskell is nice, although why it takes more resources to build
than OOo is beyond me.. *ducks*
