If there is anything underneath these pages with a broken link, or just anything that does not look right, please let me know. I maintain the links and articles manually; there is quite a bit here, and I may get something wrong from time to time.

Note: In an overly subtle encoding of information, the textual links are typically to plain ASCII versions of documents, while the eye graphics are to an HTML formatted version.

(Back to) General Publication List

I write two columns for IBM developerWorks. One on (mostly introductory) Python topics, called Charming Python. The other is called XML Matter, and is on matters XML (generally at a somewhat more advanced level). The installments have grown sufficiently numerous to warrant new branches.

I have begun writing for Intel Developer Services.

Papers for IDS

I have written quite a few tutorials, tips, explorations, editorials, and whatnot. Most of these have run on IBM developerWorks, a few have been published elsewhere. A number of them have coauthors, which is indicated if applicable.

Ramblings on esoteric and flatfooted programming topics
