Hi, llrrrpp.
The name is Swiss, but I'm not. It's a name I picked when I signed up for babble, a while ago. It's the name of a Swiss mathematician and horologist from the 16th century who discovered logarithms and other things, before they were thought to have been discovered--kind of a neglected but very inventive thinker and precise observer of phenomena.
I like languages, though.
