Chuck Musciano (CMusciano@aol.com) grew up on the East Coast, having spent time in Maryland, Georgia, and New Jersey before acquiring a B.S. in computer science from Georgia Tech in 1982. He spent the next 15 years in the employ of Harris Corporation in Melbourne, Florida, first as a compiler writer and crafter of tools and later as a member of Harris's Advanced Technology Group. His focus on Unix-based technology led to a position within Harris's Corporate Data Center, managing Unix systems. Along the way, he grew to know and love the Internet, having contributed a number of publicly available tools to the Net. The Web was a natural next step, and he has been running various web sites for several years. Most recently, he has taken the position of Chief Information Officer with the American Kennel Club in Raleigh, North Carolina. Chuck has written on Unix- and Internet-related topics in the trade press for the past decade, most visibly as the "HTML Q&A" columnist for NetscapeWorld (http://www.netscapeworld.com), the "Webmaster" columnist for SunWorld (http://www.sunworld.com), and the "Tag of the Week" columnist for WebReview (http://www.webreview.com). In his spare time he enjoys life in North Carolina with his wife Cindy, daughter Courtney, and son Cole.
