About me

I program computers to do the bidding of humans; been doing this since the eighties. That makes me pretty old.

This blog receptacle thing is intended as a place to keep technical information nuggets that I find useful; kinda like Transactive memory so I can cheerfully forget until a future retrieval time.

That is all.
