Contract programming and PC integration
Crass Commercial Stuff 1st
I started out as a mechanical engineer and migrated to programming.
Now I like to help physical machines and humans interface with computers.
I'm also happy to work on Web Page publication issues as I learn more
about CGI (newest topic area below). If you have money to spend and
need assistance I would be happy to do some contract
work for you, just follow the link.
Couch Potato Activity
I have a perverse interest in obsolete computers. If its obsolete
and was made by DEC, it may be alive and well in my basement. Although
I just gave away my spare DECMATE III, you might be interested in a Rainbow 100A
or a nice full blown IBM XT ? I have a good deal
of experience with the Rainbow, PDP-11 series and IBM PC clones.
I've also dabbled with CPM and Linux (not obsolete, but not quite
mainstream yet either).
Shareware is nice, but freeware is even better. There many
people contributing to this trend. I even offer up some utilities
and file format information I've created on the pages below.
This is a collection of links to sites and software I found interesting.
They are separated according to the area's of interest below:
In couch potato mode I'm happy to natter about these things
with net neighbors, send email.
The Great Outdoors
The activities above are secondary to running rivers. The vehicle of
choice is a kayak, but I have been known to get in an open boat. I'm
a member of the
Merrimack Valley Paddlers, and suggest you visit their web
page if interested in a club in NH. They have rolling sessions, training
trips, and 'social' functions. I can recommend a couple on-line sources
of water level information:
With the advent of digital cameras there seems to be a pretty good white
water photo gallery on the net. If you're
interested I'd start at one of the sites below. They tend to have
references to more. Or check out my limited gallery of personal
favorites
