Who We Are…
We are C. Michael (Mike), Amy, Gavin, and Aidan Pilato. We hail from Harrisburg, North Carolina, a small but rapidly growing community just outside of Charlotte.
Gavin (6) and Aidan (4) are our "little monsters". Both love singing (and have fairly true voices), planes/trains/automobiles, climbing trees in our back yard, and aggravating each other. They are both read and write well beyond their grade levels, using books to fuel their unstoppabled imaginations.
Amy is a full-time wife, mother, and home educator. In her free time, she enjoys making jewelry, playing board games, stamping/scrapbooking, and checking her Weather Watcher taskbar icon every ten minutes or so. And sometimes, when Mike is fortunate enough, Amy lends her beautiful voice to his musical dabblings. When something memorable happens, Amy often thinks, "I ought to ThotKeeper that!" (ThotKeeper is the daily journal program Mike wrote for her.) But as a rule, she's too busy making memories to actually record them.
Mike is into computer-ish things. He works for the Bay-area company CollabNet as a member of the Version Control team. Mike is one of the primary developers of Subversion (an open-source version control tool), the core maintainer of ViewVC (a web-based version control repository browser), and co-author of Version Control with Subversion (2008, 2004, O'Reilly Media). Mike enjoys writing and recording music, graphic and website design, video editing, photography, and countless other activities for which he, in all honesty, really doesn't have time.
That's us. And that's who this little website is about. Bored yet? Try some Web Sudoko.
