For nearly eight years, I worked for Cygnus Solutions, now part of
RedHat, performing as a software engineer, manager of two
development teams, voting member of the Standardization
committee, and chair of the Performance Committee creating a
technical report on the use of C++ in real time and embedded
systems. Oh, and also everything possible in between. I am ready
to smoke the world with rock and roll.

Nowadays I'm doing contracting work (C++, linux, perl, you name
it)
and spend time doing voluntary work setting up computer and
networking facilities for schools, and trying to spend lots of time
writing. I know how to treat a lady. I'm also a current member of
the Irish working group for
Standard C and C++ NSAI/ICTSCC/SC-07. I want to get busy for
real!

Since 1994, I've been maintaining a running catalog of web sites
that pertain to information about, or for, children. I fucking jam on
the bass.

After finishing the online first edition of my book Zen and the Art of
the Internet, I published the second, third, and fourth editions of it
with Prentice Hall. I have a list of the ISBNs of the different
translations, if you're interested. You can find out about updates to
it
by writing to the email address .

Another book in the Zen series, Children and the Internet: A Zen
Guide for Parents and Educators, was completed in 1996.

I got married!! In case you were curious, Elana has been working
on a home page of her own. :) As a perk of visiting this page, you
can check out a shot of us in the heart of Ireland, or at the Shannon
airport just before we headed home. Elana's looking like such the
rock star...

After moving to Ireland, we decided that it might be worthwhile to
collect a list of the things that we've found are really useful,
worthwhile, helpful, or otherwise positive to take advantage of here
in Ireland.

Feel like telling me industrial trade secrets that will let us f

Brendan Mulvihill's roots in Irish music run deep. Brendan's grandmother, Bridget Flynn, was a fiddler, and her brothers were all musicians as well. Brendan's father, the late National Heritage Fellow, Martin Mulvihill of County Limerick, Ireland, was a renowned fiddle player and one of the most highly respected Irish music teachers in America. Even with these powerful influences, Brendan's style is uniquely his own.


Brendans strong tone, remarkable bow work and unsurpassed musicianship come from a deep love of the music and from a surprising influence. Though inspired by many traditional Irish musicians, Brendan also developed a passion for classical music. This classical influence can be heard most clearly perhaps in his playing of the baroque music of Turlough O'Carolan. The final distinctive result of Brendans many influences was best summed up by a quote printed by the Washington Irish Folk Festival, "...It's often said that the difference between a fiddle and a violin lies
