Among other things, Steve is Development Leader (?)
at [COMPANY: Career Demon.com plc].

OK, I'll come clean.   I'm Chairman of [COMPANY: Psychometric Research & Development Ltd.], a small specialist consultancy (mostly around 6 people) working in various areas of applied psychology. I'm called Chairman because I have more, and more technically advanced, chairs than anyone else in the company.  CareerDemon is a part-owned Internet-delivered careers guidance service, based on [starkit] technology.   For more information about what we do look at http://www.prd.co.uk - a slowly evolving site.   I also write a fair amount for ''Nature'', usually on topics in psychology, but sometimes on more abstract matters (some reprints are on the web site).   We also do call-centre simulators for training and development, which are based on [Tcl]/[Tk] but not (yet) on starkits, disaster simulators for corporate crisis management training, which now have a [Tk] interface on top of our own MIStRAL authoring language, and a nifty line in natural language generation called SCIROCCO - yes it really is an acronym: Source Code Integrator for Report Origination with C-Compilable Objects.   This generates natural language from grammars, given data (which may be random).   We have a now very old demonstrator of this that writes short romantic nonsense in the general style of Mills & Boon novels.
