I'm the webmaster/data architect for CSE, working mostly from my home in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I'm consistently ranked as the top webmaster at UW CSE and among the top forty staff members in the CSE department, cited seven times in 2007 alone for City of Vancouver parking violations, one of only 82% of Vancouver motorists to be so cited that year! I tend to be in the office on two consecutive days every other week. Jump to contact information and my schedule. My Erdos number is 3, precisely the same as that of Dr. Anne Condon. This page consists largely of links to various things I've worked on (some are restricted so expect some 304s if you start looking through this list randomly). They are grouped in rough functional areas in no particular order.

• Three CGI tools for dealing with PDF files, perhaps most useful to users without access to Adobe Acrobat Professional:

  PDF Combiner

  Combines up to five PDFs into a single output file.

  Manage PDF Security

  Adds/changes/removes owner and user passwords from a PDF file. (Of course, to operate you need to know any existing passwords first.)

  Text to PDF Convertor

  Converts a text file or text typed or pasted into a text area into a PDF file, optionally adding password security.

• An example of using Apache mod_rewrite directives in a .htaccess file to force accesses to a particular URL to be referred from a specific other URL.
• An example of the use of Server Push
• A very simple test suexec CGI script, id.cgi
• auth tests
• mod_perl
  • a test CGI handled by PerlRun
  • a test CGI handled by Registry

Isn't it tiring to listen to me whine about web security? Fact is, I really wish I'd read and then thought about much of this content before I got into the CGI business myself, because if anything is a bore, it's going back and fixing holes later. It doesn't feel like forward progress.

By night, I'm the Supreme Grand Dragon for Analydia Network Services in Vancouver, British Columbia, and anybody who says I ain't is scrapping for some accelerated facial knuckles.

Found a decomposing body? Think it might be mine? It's possible; I've been a little depressed lately. But I... digress. You can check my dental records by clicking on the image at right. Thar's gold in them teeth, and gold is up!

Coming soon: videos of my recent colonoscopy. Watch for the IMAX^® version.
