• California Institute of Technology (Caltech) Homepage. I received my B.S. in Engineering and Applied Sciences here. I'm now back at Caltech as a systems manager and (hopefully) to get a MS degree.
• TenFold Corporation. I worked for TenFold (formerly KeyTex) between August 1996 and November 1998. Lots of really smart people work there.
• My Code 39 and Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode decoder for the PC. It decodes (i.e., reads) the barcodes! (Current version 0.20.)
• Collection of random pictures...
• Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Homepage. I worked on infrared imaging of Dead Sea Scroll fragments there several summers ago. (100K GIF) Click here for Imaging of Dead Sea Scroll fragment; left is under normal light, middle is with IR-filter (Kodak 77C?), right is with long-IR (InSb) camera. (NASA-JPL, 1993)
• Russ Adam's Barcode1 Homepage. An excellent source of barcode information.
• APCircuits is an inexpensive, reliable, and FAST! (24 hrs) way to get electronic prototypes made. Highly recommended.
• Timeline electronics is a great source of LCD and other surplus electronics. You can get the barcode wand needed for the software decoder from them. Tell them 'hi' for me!
• The Computer Engineer Quick Test - These questions help separate the engineer from the users.

My System Administration ideas

• Magic 1/8's for the allocation of disk spaces. A very simple but useful concept. (Not a difficult concept, actually, but it did take me a while to realize how useful it is.)

• Ever noticed the IBM ThinkPad laptop ads where a cowboy has a laptop in his saddlebag? What cow boy would need a laptop? I wondered. Well, here's the answer.
