About

I learned to program in Basic on a TRS-80 Model I and a Vic 20. I wrote BBS software for the Commodore 64 in the 80s and was a columnist for a couple of computer mags. I started building web applications in 1994 after being on usenet for years.

I enjoy new challenges as well as pushing technology to reasonable limits. The internet is one of the most empowering technologies ever created and I'm happy to offer advice to help people make good use of it.
