Found some of my really old code - brings back some of the memories

Occassionally, I like to go ego surfing.  I ran across the some code that I working on in 1989.  The code was written in a language called Mathmatica.  The package is a set of signal processing algorithms at http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/4578/

I worked with a graduate student named Brian Evans.  Brian was a very good guy.  I learned a lot from him.  The last I checked on google, Brian has his PhD and works at the University of Texas.  I always remember talking to Brian one day in 1989 about this idea of having documents linked between them and that the documents could be on separate servers spread through out a tcp/ip network, such as the  internet.  I remember saying something along the lines of "Neat idea, but for something like that to be successful, it needs the involvement of the general public and the general public doesn't have access to the internet."  Well, we know a little bit different now.

The Professor that looked over us was Dr. James McClellan.  Wow, what can you say besides working with half the name of the Parks-McClellan algortihm in signal processing.  I will always appreciate his giving me a chance to develop in Mathematica.  While I had taken classes in programming, it was my first programming job.

I'll always appreciate the opportunity that these people gave me.  Looking back, I wish I had been more serious about things, but life comes at you fast at the age of 22.
