Web Development

The Guardian Played the role of sitebuilder in a team of web designers who created the award-winning site for The Guardian newspaper in London using Storyserver (HTML, Tcl, SQL).

Lila's Lair Created a site for a science journalist using HTML, Perl, and JavaScript.

Editorial Cartoon Corral Created a site for the International Society of Psychohistory using HTML and Perl. Contains a collection of political cartoons that automatically update daily.

Digital Archive of Psychohistory: Cartoons and Images Created a site containing archives of links to editorial cartoons. There are approaching 20,000 links! (temporarily out of service)

Introducing Albert J. Nock Created a site for the Nockian Society dedicated to the work of Albert J. Nock, an American cultural critic and man of letters.

Foundations of Chemistry Created a site for the new philosophy of chemistry journal, Foundations of Chemistry, whose editors wished to announce and publicize it online.

Yale Department of Biology Helped the webmaster create the site for the Yale Biology Department.

Fulton's Other Lair Created a site containing course assignments for use by postgraduate students.
