CMP's purpose is to reduce suffering and increase fun.
I write custom software, usually for charities or non-profit organisations.

The original name of CMP was Consolidated Moose Pasture. The new name came to me in a moment of blind panic when BYTE Magazine asked what the letters CMP stood for. I thought they would not publish my article if they knew the truth. | May you have happiness and the causes of happiness. May you be free from suffering and the causes of suffering. May you be free from aversion, hatred, anger and attachment, -- which hold some close and others distant. May you all ways experience love and loving! |
