About This Site

This web site contains open source and experimental code that may be of interest to select hobbyists.  I am in the process of organizing about 10 years of source code for publication under the GPL and LGPL licenses; therefore my focus is on content before AJAX and other fancy presentation stuff.  I hope you don't mind the simplicity.  Feel free to contact me if you need anything sooner or want to help with a particular project.  You can find my professional profile at http://www.linkedin.com/in/davepinch (link opens in new window).
