Hello my name is Davin Pearson, my friends call me The
Nutty Professor and I was born and bred in the brilliant
place that is Aotearoa /
New
Zealand. This is my website in which I present to you
everything of substance that I have ever done, including my
commitment to
Richard Stallman and
the ideas of the Free Software
Movement and specifically
the GNU Project. In
addition to this, I believe that I am New Zealand's foremost
expert in Stallman's
Emacs text
editor with a total of 18,000 lines of customisation code
written by me, some of which I
have published. I
am three quarters of the way through
a Graduate
Diploma of Science majoring in computer science at the
University of Canterbury and I am also writing an
article about merging
the Lisp and C++ programming languages into a new language
called Lisp++.
When I am not on my beloved computer I enjoy listening to
music of all genres.
Enjoy browsing my website! Sincerely and kindest regards,
Davin.
