I know a bit about optics, especially infrared optics, and a little about temperature measurement and control. Drop me a line if you've got a problem in those neighborhoods; maybe I can help. If you own a steel mill, I definitely can. We'll talk consultant fees later . . .

I've been fooling with machines of various sorts most of my life and I still have all my fingers--some people are just lucky, and no, please don't ask about the time I got stupid with some liquid oxygen. Not until I've had a few drinks, anyway--the story gets much better, then.

Eric Raymond once introduced me to Linus Torvalds, though I doubt either one of them recalls it. It's possible Eric was pulling my leg.
