I'm an applications programmer/analyst currently overemployed and underpaid. I've developed many interesting real-time systems in the golden days of the Digital PDP and VAX machines, for example the Automated Voting System at the National Congress in Buenos Aires, but now I am fully involved in a Commodities Trading system in use by 24 companies. Sometimes it frightens me to think about the millions of dollars that are being moved through my system everyday, and wondering to where I would run away if an error occurs.

Part of that real life is music. Former classical guitarist, mainly symphonic chorus tenor, I do make some performances as soloist accompanied by piano or a jazz trio. No great arias for me, I prefer afro-American, traditionals and some jazz (so does my audience) and that's why I came to the Mudcat once, and got caught.

Tomorrow, as another part of real life, I'll participate in a multitudinal protest against the appropiation of our savings by the local and international banks, and the mandatory deposit of new income, and the miserable allowance of 80 dollars/week cash withdrawals. Since the march will be peaceful, I'll only bring a baseball bat. See you at the newspapers ! :))

Un abrazo - Andrés
