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. 
   * [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).  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 [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 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.
