Adler has been programming computers since 1976. He loves to do it.</p>
<p>His first major professional experience was at <a href="http://apple.com">Apple
Computer</a>. In 1988 he led the team that rewrote the Macintosh Finder in
C++. Before that project was completed, he was shanghaied to be the technical
lead for the System 7 project (these days they would call it &quot;Mac OS
7&quot;). The group he formed to help him do that, the Blue Meanies, is still a <a href="http://www.cupertino.de/pages/archiv/EasterEggs/BlueMeanies.html">
legend</a> in the Apple community.</p>
<p>Since Apple, Darin has worked at <a href="http://www.generalmagic.com">General
Magic</a> as an architect of the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Magic+Cap">
Magic Cap</a> OS, used the moniker <a href="http://bentspoon.com">Bent Spoon
Software</a> to do consulting, and helped start Eazel, a company that worked
to make Linux easier to use and developed the Nautilus graphical shell for <a href="http://www.gnome.org">
GNOME</a>. Since 1997, he has worked from his home in Los Angeles, CA,
collaborating with clients and coworkers in other locations.</p>
<p>He prefers to use and program Macintosh computers with C++. But work on the
GNOME project is best accomplished with a non-Macintosh PC. (That's why Darin
is sitting in front of <a href="http://boost.sourceforge.net/photos/darin_adler.jpg">two computers</a>.) The other
people working on the GNOME project don't like C++, so he's writing a lot of C
code these days.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://boost.sourceforge.net/photos/darin_adler.jpg">larger version</a> of his picture shows him hard
at work with his C++ guru, his daughter Sophia.</p>
<p>He has hobbies and stuff but you don't want to read about that here.</p>
<p>You can contact him by sending mail to <a href="mailto:darin@bentspoon.com">darin@bentspoon.com</a>.</p>
