Bil Simser is my Canadian Doppelgänger
So Bil Simser made a comment in a recent post on his blog that he used to work on a project called Harbour. Harbour was an open-source attempt to write a CA Clipper compiler, and had a bit of a cult following amongst a dedicated group of Clipperheads. Now, if you look at the list of people who worked on the project, you'll see a familiar name at the top.
I've been subscribed to Bil's blog for years and never made the connection, so I had to leave him a comment about Harbour.
A few email exchanges later, and now I learn that Bil, too, has a personal project that's comic-book-related!
So: .NET developer ... former Clipperhead/Harbour crew member ... comic-book enthusiast.
Bil Simser is my doppelgänger! He's the Canadian mabster! You heard it here first!

Huh... every time I've seen Bil post or talk or in the aldotnet groups and whatnot he's always seemed like a good and talented guy.
If he's that much like you, I'm totally going to have to re-evaluate that opinion :D

Good and talented guy? Andrew, you must have me confused with my evil twin (who's probably got a blog somewhere and he's talking about both of us now, or all three).
