Welcome to my Wiki.
I've always liked to make things. I started out in technology by designing and building automated test equipment. I loved designing logic and analog circuits, but I found that the time it took to actually build something and get it working was tedious. Then I discovered that designing software was just as much fun, and you can actually get something working much faster. That's when my career path changed and I've never regretted it.
I've found that there are as many ways to solve a software problem as there are programmers to work on it, and some approaches are better than others. I don't know where my ideas fit into the scheme of things, so I am sharing my approach and tools here to see if anyone likes them. I hope you enjoy reading my posts, and I hope this is helpful to you. Feel free to copy anything I post here and use it any way you wish. But as a matter of courtesy, I would appreciate a word of thanks if you actually find something useful.
