F. X. Reid

F. X. Reid (aka FXR) is the pen name of British computer science academic Mike W. Shields.
Reid has been a long-time and contributor to the British Computer Society FACS Specialist Group newsletter FACS FACTS. He has been an enthusiast for the COMEFROM statement and an expert on its semantics. Apparently reports of FXR's death in 2006 were untrue and his musings continue in the FACS FACTS newsletter.
Reid's most widely-known work is "The Song of Hakawatha," a parody of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem The Song of Hiawatha containing references to hacking, Unix and compilers. F. X. Reid has also be mentioned in computer science books.
