Search for my contributions to this Wiki [L1 ].

Some sites of interest:

  • O'Neil & Associates, Inc. [L2 ]: This is where I work, using open source tools like Tcl/Tk, among others. My primary role at O'Neil is that of UI developer for web and client-side software.
  • My personal web site [L3 ]: I maintain some software packages for Sun Solaris. You can find them here, among other things.

Here's a little script that determines the link to the current Astronomy Picture of the Day [L4 ]:

 #!/bin/sh
 # -*- tcl -*-
 # The next line is executed by /bin/sh, but not tcl \
 exec tclsh "$0" ${1+"$@"} 

 package require http

 set base_url http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod
 set site [http::geturl $base_url/astropix.html]
 set html [http::data $site]

 regexp -nocase -linestop {(src="(.*)")} $html match src image

 puts $base_url/$image

Some pages I've started, or plan on starting:
