big boring explanation

These pages contain thing pertaining to development that I do... code, docs, etc. Hopefully you (or someone you know) finds them useful! Warning: I'm a hacker. I solve problems. Sometimes I make problems... but I enjoy writing code. I have no 'formal' training. It's all D.I.Y. Since I first started using basic on the Apple ][+ back in 1980, I've just learned on my own. I probably do everything wrong. This code could cause your machine to actually go nuts and kill you. I take no responsibility. How's that for a disclaimer?

Also, I wanted to contribute to the open-source/free software movement, as well as give something back to the net (just like in the old days!) I think open-source software is one of the most valuable and important ideas in the world of computing. Any code you find here will probably be released under the GNU GPL License. If it's not, it will probably say so...
