The often used screen name for David S. Cargo
(escargo@skypoint.com and david_cargo@xiotech.com).
My home IP address is often 199.86.45.178 (from home)
or 207.250.72.2 (from work), and will appear when looking at
[Recent Changes].

''Updated slightly on 05/05/05 since it's such a funny date.''

''Initials?  Why would I prefer to use initials with a handle like this?''

I have been coding in tcl, tk, and expect since 1996.

For a few years I was a [Multics] [http://www.multicians.org/] user, and have also
used (in ancient times) CP/M-80, MS-DOS, VAX VMS, TOPS-10, old Honeywell minicomputer systems,
ModComp Systems.

More recently I have used CrayOS, Solaris, Microsoft Windows (starting at 3.1), and Linux.

I did manage to attend the Tcl 2002 conference in Vancouver.  Very nice.

I have started a few pages, including one with an application:
   * [wish-reaper]
and others more philosophical
   * [Meta-object Protocol]

For $25/yr you can be escargot@slug.org.

(That's the yearly membership for slug.org) '''PSE'''

For not much more than that I can get my own domain name.
I'm not sure a snail should be consorting with slugs.
They are fellow mollusks, but still....

'''Pet Peeves'''

I may wind up doing some minor editorial (copyediting) changes to wiki
pages that I see that have the following problems.

   * The use of "it's" instead of "its" (where the possessive is intended)
   * The use of "its" instead of "it's" (where the contraction is intended)
   * The use of "lets" instead of "let's" (where the contraction is appropriate)
   * The use of "which" instead of "that" (nonrestrictive versus restrictive)
   * Misspellings ("alot")

I won't mark these changes since I don't think they will change the meaning.
