I make software and sometimes other things.

 

Due to Blogger's termination of support for FTP, this blog is no longer active.

It is possible that some links from here, particularly those within the site, are now broken. If you encounter one of those, your best bet is to go to the new front page and hunt for it from there.

Most, but not all, of the blog's posts are on this page; the archives are here.

 
More clearing the decks of old projects: This one is a JavaScript implementation of dots and boxes with a very simple computer opponent. It works perfectly in Firefox, but incorrectly in Chrome and not at all in Internet Explorer. This was an evening's work, and is under-tested and a bit brittle.

I've long had a good handle on the core JavaScript language, but the other night I set out to understand the DOM and the event-handling model, and the result was this toy sudoku app. If any more seasoned JavaScript programmers see anything stupid in there, please comment.

We went to Las Vegas last week (my first time there), and the one casino game that surprised me was War. Yes, just like the one you used to play as a kid until you realized that it is boring. I walked past a table, and then doubled back in disbelief that this was what I thought it was. This is about the most brain-dead card game I can think of, far dumber than anything else in the casino (except, of course, the slot machines).
