I maintain this web site and ftp area to distribute programs that I work on in my spare time. It is separate from the work which I get paid for.

Judging by the email which I receive, many people believe that I am either

• a systems administrator, or
• a hacker

In current (2010) terminology, I'm a "software developer". Some people use the term "computer programmer"; however that has taken on a menial connotation.

Publicly, I am often referred to as a maintainer of various programs. As part of this, I maintain change-logs to cite

• dates,
• the type of contribution, and
• contributor's names

I've been writing computer programs for a while.
