- David "~papa" Meyer
- is a wannabe hacker who cut his programming teeth on punch cards and BASIC back in the late 1970s. His weapons of choice are Perl and Emacs. He conceals his secret hacker identity by posing as a mild-mannered IT security auditor. He is a US citizen residing in Japan since 1991, a husband and father of five, and a curmudgeonly conservative Catholic convert. You have been warned.
