Welcome to my home page! Below you will find information about me, links to home pages I have created, and a few web-related resources. I do my primary Web development on a Macintosh Performa 5215, using BBEdit 4.0, Fetch 3.0, NCSA Telnet 2.7b2(fat), Clip2Gif, GraphicConverter, Adobe PhotoShop, and Adobe PageMill. Occasionally I'm forced to do work with on UNIX machines, using vi, ftp, Bourne shell (sh) scripts, and other utilities. Despite the acknowledged power of UNIX, I would much rather work on a Mac to create content. I prefer to do original work, rather than copying others (although I'm not shy about getting ideas from other Web sites, or other graphic designs). I have the Apple Video System in the Performa, so I can input images directly from a videocamera. Since I don't have a scanner, that's how most of the images get on these pages. I do my Web surfing and html previewing with NetScape Navigator 2.0 (3.0 uses too much RAM). At Apple, in addition to my regular duties, I am webmaster for a server on our intranet. There I make extensive use of WEB FM to serve up FileMaker Pro databases. The server we use internally is an Apple WorkGroup Server running WebSTAR. We also make our AppleShare file server available from web pages by running NetPresenz (formerly ftpd). I edit most pages with BBEdit and PageMill. I have written a couple CGI scripts using AppleScript, but have discovered that I can do most of the things I need to with WEB FM.

Okay, so I don't update this very often. I recently discovered Macintouch an excellent reference for Macintosh information.

Added a reference to Go Fish!, the Bass Tournament Calendar.

11 August 1996 News:

I just purchased my copy of Starry Night. It used to be called Sienna Space. I had an old beta copy from WWDC 1994, and had wondered what happened to the company. Starry Night is the greatest astronomy program for the Macintosh (and only on the Macintosh!). It's user interface is really nice. And it's only $28! I should mention that I also have Voyager II, the original serious Mac astronomy program. They're both amazing programs.

I've updated The Gold Bug's page with a new version of AniMap, and cleaned up the AniMap page, added a "toolbar", etc. Also changed the names of some of the pages (AniMap.html, Centennia.html, SiteFinder.html) to be more descriptive. I left behind sym links so old bookmarks would still work.

I am WebMaster for a variety of home pages...
