Now working for a well known US company (scientific instruments, laboratory equipments), but first was serving the merchant navy as radio officer on french tankers, call signs FNMV, FNHG, etc...
I use a ham call sign too, F5YG, since 1967, working, at night, only CW (the Morse telegraphy code) on the 160 m and 80 m bands.
In the time remaining, I'm using and supporting Linux (since 1994), programming in C and assembler, and, quite unrelated, play organ in our church, the large, liturgical one, with a lot of pipes (german and french music, 17th-18th centuries : Dietrich Buxtehude, Johann Pachelbel, Georg Boehm, Johann-Sebastian Bach, Guillaume-Gabriel Nivers, Jacques Boyvin, Nicolas de Grigny, Francois Couperin, Louis-Claude d'Aquin, ...).
Of all grid computing projects, Einstein@home is, without a doubt, the most usefull from the scientific point of view. Many thanks to Pr. Bruce Allen, all developers and scientific staff of LIGO/GEO laboratories : who loves physics would contribute to this project with enthousiasm.
