hello

warning: i've had these pages for years. there's a lot of old, unmaintained, out-of-date crud lying around. sorry.

new(ish) content:

• safe, ide-friendly, extensible xml schema
• agile software development (book review)
• i am documenting my exploration of parrot
• an archive of my ctio pages
• asynchronous java
• timeline of various events
• a parquet deformation editor
• modular filters for sax / java
• words to live by
• no soy norteamericano
• a minimal typeface (and dhtml typesetter)
• music: public (pandora) & private (my own icecast stream)
• the compute mailing list is now a blog (ish).
• spirograph (svg)
• a new map of military spending and a whole new page of information and downloads.

software available includes support for creating images and web sites in haskell, java packages (parser for xpath patterns in xslt; verification of javacc parse trees; etc), a package to generate rhythms using genetic algorithms in lisp (rewritten in ml, along with physical synthesis of drums, but that code incomplete and not public), a fast 2d ks test, a way of producing cmyk tiff files (for printing), the only known "hello world" program in malbolge, and an interpreter for a language described by dijkstra.

or maybe you'd like something pretty to look at? try this gallery, or these photos.

viva chile mierda is about the detention of pinochet in britain. i've also got an old usenet post i quite like on nike in indonesia. several of my pages, while not really political, worry about how to live within society.

my most referenced page is an introduction to programming languages (it really needs more work - please try this essay instead). you can also read some book reviews - maybe aardvark, or underworld.

i also have an on-line diary and autobiography.

don't like my style? then you won't like this.
