I currently have no homepage but you can always check out my YCMA Masters Swim Team's homepage at http://hcym.us or http://www.eteamz.com/hcym . Also if you are in the Baltimore/Maryland/US area please feel free to stop and swim with us (if you can meet the minimum requirements). I'm not just the head coach but also one of the swimmers, webmaster, social director, etc...
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.
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[L1 ] type problem). NewzPoint has been packaged as a Starkit and Starpack since February of 2002.
WORK
I have been using Tcl for automated testing of embedded radar system [L2 ]. 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 html datasheets (viewable in realtime with tkHtml). 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 (was java now Tk/Tcl), a data streaming server (Tk/Tcl) and a Tcl/Tk editor (currently ml). 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.
