I am a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, now working for Green Hills Software in their compilers division.

What I Do

I don't do anything terribly interesting. Just another C hacker interested in small shiny things. On this site you can find some information I've created; a small repository for information I may or may not have created; and a résumé [PDF, 60K] that gives you some idea of what information I may be capable of creating in the future. [TeX source]

At CMU, I was the copy manager of The Tartan, CMU's student newspaper. I also juggle. I have a small profile on ticalc.org, where I've archived several programs I created for the TI-83 graphing calculator.

Free Things

Here is where I store some stuff that is free. If you like something that you see here, please feel free to take it and make it yours. But still free. Thanks.

Free software

• Crossword utilities, which I have used in creating crosswords for The Tartan. Includes a crossword dictionary.
• detab, an entab/detab utility.
• ImageFmtc.h (.c), a very simple and I think user-friendly interface to various flavors of the BMP, PGM, and PPM image formats. Also converts between RGB and grayscale very easily.
• quine, a little program that tries to generate a "quining" function for any given C program. Produces 100% portable ISO C.
• Capture Pentominoes, an abstract board game of my own devising.
• Fungus, the Befunge machine; and its two-dimensional assembler; based on a specification by Alexios Chouchoulas.

Images

• The logo of the CMU Math Club, composed using METAFONT. [METAFONT source, 4K]
• A PBM parody of the logo for the PNG image format. Makes a good desktop image. [Zipped BMP, 31K]
• A Nethack version of the Calvin Klein logo.

Other Things

Documents: copyright someone else

• A revised version [PDF, 117K] of Joseph H. Silverman's C Reference Card. [TeX source]
• The FAQ [HTML, 81K] (Frequently Asked Questions) for the newsgroup alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++, mirrored from http://www.snurse-l.org/acllc-c++/faq.html.
• Index of /~ajo/disseminate. This is stuff that I want to disseminate to people. It is not necessarily in the public domain, nor will it stick around for more than six months in most cases. Use at your own risk.

Links: not here
