Dr. Dobb's Developer Diaries, or Your Smilin' Face

One of the more popular features in Dr. Dobb's is Developer Diaries where we present "profiles of programmers [and] descriptions of developers." Okay, so we ripped off the concept from the now-famous Dewar's Profiles. But wasn't it Mr. Dewar himself who said something about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery?

In any event, what I'd like to do is share with you the opportunity to participate in the fun. Okay, it probably isn't much like seeing your "Smilin' face/On the cover of the Rolling Stone", but it is fun nonetheless.

So here's all you have to do:

1. Briefly answer the following six questions:
   1. Where do you work?
   2. What's your job there?
   3. What do you like about your job?
   4. What do you find challenging about your job?
   5. What have you found that makes your job easier?
   6. What's your hobby?
2. Get a digital photo of yourself.
3. ZIP the answers to the questions and your photo into an archive.
4. Email the ZIP archive to me at Developer Diaries (or directly to me at jerickson@ddj.com).

That's it. I'll try to ack receipt of each profile (thanks in advance, by the way) and will let you know if we have any questions. No, you don't have to drink Dewar's scotch, Czech beer, or Z's coffee to participate. Just be willing to have a little fun and see your picture (not) on the cover of Dr. Dobb's.
