I'm primarily a sysadmin rather than a programmer. TCL first hit my radar at the USENIX where Ousterhout introduced it, and has been on my list of Good Things ever since. Most recently I twisted Clif Flynt's arm to get him to do the Tenth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference, and pitched in a bit to get the network running in the meeting rooms.

I was particularly impressed by some of the things folks have been doing with Starkit. It jibes very well with a lot of the issues I addressed in 1994 with the paper Software Design For Installability. It's good to know that things move forward.

You can find many of my writings and other things you'd rather not know at my web page. You can reach me by email at work.
