Judy and Sammy the Scrub Jay
Dave and Sammy
These pictures were taken at our friends Sherry and Sue's place near Lake Arrowhead outside of Los Angeles. The trick to getting Sammy to stick around long enough to get his picture was to put two peanuts wherever you wanted him to land. He would always try to figure out if he could carry both peanuts off and that was usually long enough to get a picture.
On a serious note, Dave's resume can be found here. A Microsoft Word format version of the same document can be found here.
Since leaving Vericept at the beginning of 2006, Dave has been writing a book called A New Chore for Sisyphus.
This book shows why the current state of software quality is so bad by
showing how the practices of a severely time constrained development team inevitably lead to buggy, unreliable, insecure programs. A prospectus for the book
including a chapter outline can be found here. We are currently looking for a traditional publisher for the book but may end up publishing it electronically here.
Please feel free to contact me by e-mail as "dave at davenjudy.org" if you find what I have to say in the prospectus for Sisyphus interesting or you have any input you would like to share.
