Computers:

I greatly enjoy using and learning about computers, particularly software and programming.

I currently have a functional (and thus easily extensible) knowledge base of the following:
-C++
-Fortran 90
-IRAF
-NI LabVIEW
-GNU/Linux systems in general (and other UNIX based systems as well)
-Windows

By the end of the semester, I am taking classes that will expand this knowledge base to:
-MATLAB
-Wolfram Mathematica

I have independent plans to learn (hopefully this semester):
-Python
-AWK
