For further information about me, please see my résumé and my PGP Key.

Apologies for this site being so sorely out of date.  There is a new improved homepage coming soon…real soon…I mean like any day now…really…

System administration:

[The Dust Puppy] [Dogbert!]

(Fellow Dilbert fans will recognize my sys-admin role model,
and be sure to check out User Friendly if you don't recognize the Dust Puppy...)

For several years I was the system administrator for the Department of Mathematical Sciences at The Johns Hopkins University.  I still run my own home network, so Dogbert is still my hero.


Fun stuff:

[Ansky rules!] I am a huge baseball fan, and in particular a rabid fan of the greatest baseball team ever to play the game, the New York Yankees.  I am still working to spread the gospel here in the unenlightened realms around Baltimore.

Since the Yankees still haven't sent me a non-roster invitation to Spring Training, I get by with playing softball.  I have played on several teams in the area, including the Math Sciences Power Series, on which I played and which I also captained for several years.  For those who are interested, I have a fairly spiffy scoresheet that I created for our team.  Feel free to download and use it.  It is available in PostScript, PDF, and M$ Excel formats.

I am finally a a motorcycle owner, having picked up a 1997 Kawasaki Ninja EX500 in the summer of 2001.  It is, by the way, a lot of fun.  One of these days, I might even get some pictures up…

Computer stuff:

Now for the computer stuff…  I have been a UNIX user and sysadmin for the better part of a decade now, and have written quite a few files in the process.  Making them available to others goes a short way towards justifying the ridiculous expenditure of time which went into their creation.

The Z Shell

[Zsh] For one thing, I am an avid proponent of the Z Shell, an outstanding, enormously capable Bourne-syntax command shell.  The following files are available:

Emacs

Although I have since moved to Vim, I once used emacs, and specifically XEmacs, quite extensively.  Feel free to browse my collected Lisp files:

FVWM

[FVWM] Of course, I have to have a nice user environment in which to get all sorts of useful work done.  Thus, I run fvwm, a really awesome window manager for the X11 windowing system.  (More specifically, I run fvwm2.)  (Even more specifically, I run fvwm2 when I actually bother to fire up X, as opposed to just using a plain terminal window…)  You can view a screenshot of my desktop and look at the configuration file (.fvwmrc) that creates it.  Screenshots from a couple of friends of mine are also available in the same directory as compressed X11 window dumps.  (A program like xv ran read this format.)

(La)TeX

Finally, I am a TeX junkie, and a LaTeX convert.  Please take a look at my various input files and macro code: My LaTeX macros have been uploaded to CTAN and will be updated as changes are made.  I use them to typeset all of my homework and assignments, which are also available.  Simply follow the link to my list of previous classes.  The files are organized by year and semester.

Disclaimer: If you are enrolled in any of the courses which I have taken, you are responsible for observing your professor's stipulations on using outside help on assignments.

Other

I have a few miscellaneous executables and some documentation which might also be of interest to you.
