| 22 | Adler has been programming computers since 1976. He loves to do it.</p> |
|---|
| 23 | <p>His first major professional experience was at <a href="http://apple.com">Apple |
|---|
| 24 | Computer</a>. In 1988 he led the team that rewrote the Macintosh Finder in |
|---|
| 25 | C++. Before that project was completed, he was shanghaied to be the technical |
|---|
| 26 | lead for the System 7 project (these days they would call it "Mac OS |
|---|
| 27 | 7"). The group he formed to help him do that, the Blue Meanies, is still a <a href="http://www.cupertino.de/pages/archiv/EasterEggs/BlueMeanies.html"> |
|---|
| 28 | legend</a> in the Apple community.</p> |
|---|
| 29 | <p>Since Apple, Darin has worked at <a href="http://www.generalmagic.com">General |
|---|
| 30 | Magic</a> as an architect of the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Magic+Cap"> |
|---|
| 31 | Magic Cap</a> OS, used the moniker <a href="http://bentspoon.com">Bent Spoon |
|---|
| 32 | Software</a> to do consulting, and helped start Eazel, a company that worked |
|---|
| 33 | to make Linux easier to use and developed the Nautilus graphical shell for <a href="http://www.gnome.org"> |
|---|
| 34 | GNOME</a>. Since 1997, he has worked from his home in Los Angeles, CA, |
|---|
| 35 | collaborating with clients and coworkers in other locations.</p> |
|---|
| 36 | <p>He prefers to use and program Macintosh computers with C++. But work on the |
|---|
| 37 | GNOME project is best accomplished with a non-Macintosh PC. (That's why Darin |
|---|
| 38 | is sitting in front of <a href="http://boost.sourceforge.net/photos/darin_adler.jpg">two computers</a>.) The other |
|---|
| 39 | people working on the GNOME project don't like C++, so he's writing a lot of C |
|---|
| 40 | code these days.</p> |
|---|
| 41 | <p>The <a href="http://boost.sourceforge.net/photos/darin_adler.jpg">larger version</a> of his picture shows him hard |
|---|
| 42 | at work with his C++ guru, his daughter Sophia.</p> |
|---|
| 43 | <p>He has hobbies and stuff but you don't want to read about that here.</p> |
|---|
| 44 | <p>You can contact him by sending mail to <a href="mailto:darin@bentspoon.com">darin@bentspoon.com</a>.</p> |
