Ray Van De Walker is very proud to have contributed to articles selected for the brilliant prose section four times:
He refactored: Weapon, radio, Satellite navigation system, International Geophysical Year and these have been generally accepted and extended by the community.
He wrote or improved articles about
He documented the bio and filmography of Steven Segal.
He has degrees in Computer Science and Philosophy from the University of California at Irvine.
He abandoned academia because it paid badly, and currently writes embedded real-time software, primarily for mechanism control in systems that require extremely high reliability, such as medical, avionic (aircraft) systems, and oddly electric power meters.
He also wrote the second revision of "The polyForth II Reference Manual," the first successful edition (it reduced hotline calls by 30%!) of the reference manual for Forth Inc.'s version of the FORTH language. This means he is a world authority on the FORTH language and porting techniques. Which makes him a large frog in a tiny puddle, indeed.
He has a number of unpublished science-fiction novels, which some insist are worthy of print.
He has a published book about philosophical Ethics, "How to be Good" which is far more interesting, (to him, at least) but even less salable.
He also juggles badly, is an indifferent thespian, fixes cars, houses and motorcycles, designs houses, is married with children, ran a small corporation, and taught sunday school, none of which pay at all.
