hello, just another mouse with a flat tire on the information superhighway. i have enjoyed unix, c, and sockets for roughly fifteen years. my first computer was a mattel aquarius - bought for christmas, only because it was $50 and "mom liked to have a lot of boxes around the tree" - and it came in a big box. it got me hooked. i proceeded to grow up on apple II computers - first a IIc, then the mother of all apples, the IIgs. i'd later use the GS to connect to unix systems, and slowly built up a collection of old sun workstations. about five years ago I taught myself 6502 assembly, and recently have discovered the joy of Ruby and object-oriented metaphors. in keeping with these themes the projects below are pretty self-explanatory.
aside: i also like to play the piano.

Who doesn't want to return to the fun happy times of three hundred baud and a limit of seven lines on a chat system? I know I do! I turned those dreams into reality by emulating my wonderful old Philly DDial #28, Savage Frontier, with a few Apple II+ emulators with virtual modems in the slots and a server listening on a port to emulate a phoneline huntgroup. read more..
Speaking of Apple II's, do you have a metric buttload of them laying around? Accompanied by a myriad of output devices of the NTSC flavor in varying shapes and sizes? I know I do! Make those old monitors and TVs useful again by assigning an Apple to each of them and giving them a video feed to display, in the form of a Visual Matrix. read more..
