Personal information:

• Email: mailto:[email protected]

Projects:

• directory notification package in Tcl
• multiplexer called Mux here [L1 ]
• tclVM toys and tools here [L2 ]
• A tclhttpd interface to some CA code like SimpleCA (here [L3 ]).
• a Tcl Space called Coldtcl - http://sharedtech.dyndns.org/~colin/coldtcl.tar.gz
• Wikit vfs - a Wikit Virtual File System
• RSA in tcl based on bignum
• XDR parser in tcl.
• Cache VFS caching virtual filesystem
• TreeQL a tree editing and query language
• snitvfs Snit VFS implementation template.
• mime type recognition in pure tcl
• pure tcl cvs client
• tcc tcl extension YES! Compile C directly into your tcl code with only 100K overhead. (I am so happy :)
• fuse tcl interface to linux user file system.

Quickies:

• purse - simpleminded but effective array persistence using trace and files
• mapping arrays to directories. Mentioned in Everything's a ...
• mapping metakit views as arrays (of dictionaries)
• Keyword in Context Indexer kwic
• userid from tclX in critcl
• remote ssh tcl for remote execution of tcl commands via ssh.
• backup utility using rsync uses the remote ssh tcl facility above.
• Postfix and tcl
• tclConfig.sh parser
• gathering stuff on tclxpcom
• tcl future object type
• fields facilitates the binary (un)packing of fields
• dict in snit a snit wrapper around dict.
• patch for rcs in tcl a quickie to process diff -n diffs
• Tclish Sourceforge Pages
• Tclhttpd Content Wrapping
• tcl size A script to calculate the size of a tcl process.

I occasionally throw up bits and pieces here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libtclpq/

• I have a tendency to ask ''is there any compelling reason that X doesn't use Y?' where Y is often comm ... I just like minimalism, I guess.

Musings:

• scope - on scope in tcl
• Object vs. Megawidget

Wild Ideas:

• Tcl Canon and Fugue
• The ability to taint allocation blocks, its possible uses.
• Tcl over Python a different Python parser to make it look like tcl, and can you tell the difference?

Suggestions: (I'm full of 'em)

• Tclhttpd Needs
• VFS Needs
• What's Cool

Controversies/Rants:

• what is a Project Release? What is it for? Stu and I have been robustly exchanging views on the subject, and I thought I'd jump in to misrepresent his views in that page.
• Imagine a language ... unexpected side-effects of tcl's virtues.

Firsts: first mention of 'badger' on the Wiki ... damn, not even close.
