About Me

Welcome to my humble corner of things, as humble as a self-serving website can be, anyway.

My name is Randy J. Ray. I’m a software engineer and occasional author who has been happily grinding away at this for some 20+ years or so, counting college. I consider myself truly fortunate: I knew from an early age that I wanted to program computers, I got a good degree with classes from some really good (and some fairly dicey) instructors, and I’ve been able to make a living at this ever since.

I program primarily in Perl, but this blog will chronicle not only my “adventures” with Perl, but also my excursions into other areas. I play around with Java, I’m currently using a fair amount of PHP and Javascript at my day job, and I plan to re-introduce myself to functional programming with one (or both) of Haskell or Clojure.
