I have been sober ... I mean using Tcl since 1999.  Before that I mainly used C but have been know to work in java, pascal, jovial, fortran, assembly (various) and microcode (68000, rtl, vrtl).  I have tried [perl] and [python] but much prefer the syntax of Tcl.  I also attended the [Seventh Annual Tcl/Tk Conference] in Austin where I met many Tclers.

Here on the Wiki I've contributed to the following pages. 
   * [1750A to Float Conversion]
   * [Ask, and it shall be given.]
   * [Windows/CE]
   * [CueCat] and [TkCatScan]
   * [NewzPoint]
   * [X10] ~ [x10-cm17a], [X10-mr26a], 
   * [optcl]
   * [always on top]
   * [ffidl]
   * [SLOC]
   * [Comic Server]

'''HOME'''

I have been working on [NewzPoint], my replacement for PointCast. NewzPoint is a tabbed layout webviewer with auto refresh.  It was developed using Tcl/Tk and [optcl].  A couple of Tclers have seen this application and the comments have been favoriable.  But it maybe hard to decribe why you might need NewzPoint but I am hooked (a Tivo[http://www.tivo.com] type problem).

'''WORK'''

I have been using Tcl for automated testing of embedded radar system [http://sensor.northgrum.com/esss/pages/avionics.html].  I am the architecture and software lead of our current test tool for validation testing.  This tool uses [safe] tcl to run each script test in a 'sandbox' and generate datasheets (viewable in realtime) in html format.  The tool called ASE (said 'ace') is a modular collection of applications with Tcl as the test interpreture.  It also uses ProDebug (from [TclPro]) to perform the test script debugging.  A GUI (java), a data streaming server (tcl) and jEdit[http://www.jedit.org/] (java) as the test script editor .  Each part is connected by network sockets so that any piece can be upgraded or replaced without affecting the whole application.  It also has generated a lot of little Tcl tools like ''tcldoc2'' (a javadoc knockoff) and ''[fickle]'' (a flex knockoff) just to name a few.
