Q:	Who is Isaac?
A:	Isaac is a computer programmer and nice guy.
Q:	What programming languages do you know?
A:	I am a professional C, C++, and Perl developer, and am occassionally called on to deal with code for older systems.
Q:	What kinds of technologies do you know?
A:	I have years of experience working with networking, CGI, and Databases. I currently work on train control center systems.
Q:	When was the first time you created a web site?
A:	1995.
Q:	Do you work on open source code?
A:	Yes. Check out my Projects links in the link menu.
Q:	Why do most of your projects require GCC 3.x? Why not GCC 2.95.x?
A:	There are so many compilers out there that are changing so often that it's difficult to continue supporting older, non-standards-compliant C++ compilers. I've also provide limited support for MS VC++ 6.0. Onward toward the future!
Q:	Is all your code open source?
A:	No. While I try to contribute to open source projects, I need a pay check. I also keep some pet projects to myself for years before I release them into the wild.
Q:	Why open source?
A:	Sometimes because I think something I wrote could be useful to others. Sometimes because no one else has made the module I want.
Q:	What is your favorite open source license?
A:	Currently, I prefer the BSD license. It seems less restrictive than many other open source licenses.
Q:	Do you make your own graphics?
A:	Yes. Obviously art is not my strong point.
Q:	Do you have pets?
A:	Yes, I keep dogs and cats, and sometimes help out a local cat rescue.
Q:	Are you married?
A:	Yes.
Q:	What is your Bacon number?
A:	3.
Q:	What color are you?
A:	I cannot believe that in this day and age you can be so shallow as to judge people by the color of their skin.
Q:	Why a FAQ?
A:	Why not? Other people waste bandwidth with far more frivilous things.
Q:	Is there anything else?
A:	Not at this time.
