Beginnings

I've had TGEA for a while now, sitting in my subversion server. Lots of plans came and went (or, rather, accreted into a huge megalithic impossible mental project).

I'm a professional Software Engineer, working for a massive company you've never heard of. I spend my day writing tools which model the world's financial markets, absorb massive amounts of data, and serve derived statistics to whomever (internally) wants them. I like to think I'm up to the task that my project presents, but reality dictates my time is limited. As such, I am trying to keep my goals realistic.
