My name is Michael A. Cleverly.  My first introduction to Tcl came by reading [Philip Greenspun]'s [BOOK Database Backed Web Sites].  I feel in love with Tcl almost immediately.

I'm the author of the [nstcl] package, that reimplements some of the most useful APIs from [AOLserver] and the [OpenACS] toolkit.  One of the nicest features of AOLserver is its DB-independent [Database Interface].  nstcl wraps existing Tcl database extensions, such as [Oratcl], [Sybtcl], [Tclodbc], etc. into an AOLserver-style interface.

In August of 2002 I wrote [burrow] to create a persistent and resilient [tunnel] between two hosts.  I also finally remembered to package up 
''Sandcrab'' [http://michael.cleverly.com/software/sandcrab/], a Tk utility I wrote during the 2002 Winter Olympics to scour a website looking for broken links.

In September of 2002 I attended the Tcl/Tk conference in Vancouver.

In October of 2002 I released [TclMML].

In November of 2002 I finally got irritated with my browsers apparent 4,096 byte limit on copying & pasting (which makes it hard to copy and paste large chunks of code from the Wiki), so I wrote [wiki-reaper] (another example of [An HTTP robot in Tcl] I suppose) to simplify matters.  

In January of 2003 I wrote [CkChat] a [ck] ([curses]) implementation of [TkChat] for the [Tcl Chatroom].

In April of 2003 I decided I'd finally take a stab at [Learning XOTcl].

In May of 2003 I created a couple of packages (which all build off [tDOM]) to help create GUI applications.

   1. a new version of ''tdg'' (see [Using Snit to make Tk DOM Glue])
   1. ''pdmenus'' (see [Pull down menus in XML])
   1. ''[xml2gui]''

Some of the pages I've written for the Wiki:

    * [crypt in pure tcl]
    * [Validating Credit Card Check Digits]
    * [Converting numbers from arbitrary bases]
    * [An HTTP robot in Tcl]
    * [Finding distances by querying MapQuest]
    * [wiki-reaper]
    * [Editing the Tcl'ers Wiki using an editor of your choice]
    * [Using Snit to make Tk DOM Glue]
    * [CkChat]
    * [Pull down menus in XML]
