mathematics: Wavelets and Applications

The basics of wavelets arrived at through Fourier analysis and convolution. Some work with MATLAB software also. Dr. Derek Bruff teaches it.

web-related programming

C, Unix, and CGI programming: lib113 (samsara)

Distributed programming suitable for Web applications on Unix Web servers such as Apache. We write programs in C, learn how to use Bourne shell scripts to execute them together, and then we use these scripts on the Web for users to use. Taught with the great Bruce Molay.

Perl: After doing enough low-level C progamming, I can definitely appreciate how relatively easy Perl is to work with, and I'm really glad I learned about it, because I've been actually using it on my own pet projects, as well as some of my web work.; my work for csci e-13 (samsara)

See a small sample of the work I did for Practical Perl with Austin Lin. It's not much, and the page could use some upkeeping, but you get the general idea...

Unix Systems programming: lib215

The gritty details of the Unix system and how it functions through writing involved C programs that mimick common Unix utilites such as sttyand last. Knowledge of system details and acquired programming proficiency pave the way for writing larger applications, such as net-Pong, a Unix shell, and a HTTP 1.0 server. Also with Bruce.

Ambush at Juction Rock: AJR mp3 area

Here's the temporary home for the AJR mp3s I made from actual cassette tapes (don't laugh). I hope they're listener-friendly enough for you's.

CSS stylesheet that I like to use (may seem like a familiar style?).

man pages

online man pages for UNIX and C libraries as they appear on the samsara system.

my samsara blog rss feed

I just want to see if this would work--I don't really update this blog thing very often, so don't get yer hopes up...

my samsara blog

blog powered by Blosxom, a Perl blogging script. I really should hack my own version of it that better suits my needs.

Lecture Demo site, my vers with old cgi stuff

Lecture Demo Home

The actual Lecture Demo site, with the real scripts and stuff

pagetrack.cgi

keeps track of my_demolist usage on a rotating xml log

xmltrack.cgi

another usage log thing that I like to look at

SPL

SPL is an ongoing project with me and my dad regarding technology patent law. It's split between making a small Website for a Siliconvaley Patentlaw Group PC, a firm that my dad would like to have someday, and some small software tools that patent lawyers would find useful, for better or worse.

on the web: official SPL Website

The latest build of the official site, complete with a CGI-PHP mail form.

This is the png banner I made for the new spl Website. It's dynamically generated from SVG by Cocoon, which uses Apache Batik to rasterize it.

This is a construction area for the SPL Website, where various files have piled up. The new/xml/ subdirectory is where the XSLT stylesheets and XML datafiles live.

programming: SPL (FAS)

Some programming projects on FAS for my dad.

Yellow Brick Self-Storage: prices2hash.pl

Nifty little Perl script I made to make the process of changing the prices for the yellowbrickselfstorage.com site more efficient, by putting the prices in XML and then just making some XSLT to put them in HTML. I should go back and edit this work.

yellow brick web site (samsara)

My working version of www.yellowbrickselfstorage.com, complete with awful Flash-animated navigation bar and cheesy graphics. Hey, I didn't design it, ok? I just try to make it better.

Dusty Nickels (samsara)

California alternative-country music new and improved for the Web, thanks to me. I had a lot of fun doing this, and I hope I can do more like it soon. That reminds me, I have to make some updates!

Final project for Web dev class with David Heitmeyer. I used a templating system to make all the pages look the same.
