I am a professor of computer science at the University of Tennessee at Martin. I conduct research in artificial intelligence and computer science education. I dabble in theory of computation and programming language development.

I have been coding ever since I wrote my first line of BASIC back in the 1980s. I like retrocomputing, modern computing, artificial intlligence, programming, electronics, and math. I generally spend my time coding and reading pretty much anything I can get my hands on.

I feel that the #cpp friend system fails to capture the richness of the possibilities of friendship. I propose the following additions:

- private friends: right now there is no distinction, but let's add that these are "secret" friends, which the class will not admit when around any class with the "cool" designation. However, private friends are acknowledged when in the presence of either "uncool" or "mid" classes.

- enemy functions/classes: no methods may be invoked by these functions/classes or any of their friends

That was a legitimately enjoyable film, made all the better by watching it with all of you, fellow denizens of #Monsterdon.
