All about Ducky

Yeah right.

Ducky's pic of the... until something better comes along.

... and however long it takes me to get motivated to change it.

Your milage may vary. And now on to other things.

Projects I'm working on

3Duck - Forth interpreter with SDL bindings for Linux based on jonesforth (backup since the original page is gone).

For more information on the intriguing programming language that is Forth, check out this overview and collection of resources.

Projects I'm not working on

Quizinart - Quick-n-dirty web-based anonymous quiz builder. I cranked this out sometime in 2004 after seeing one too many cut-n-paste quizzes in LiveJournal that I had to do something. Once I got the basic engine working, I got bored. ^_^

What am I doing with this website?

I'm playing with code. No, I don't mean HTML, that's not coding, that's encoding. I'm using perl and the HTML::Mason module to build the entire site. The menus on the left, for example, are generated on the fly. The pages are pretty basic, 100% html, in fact...(unless something demands server side execution like presenting the server's uptime: 372 days . always a favorite).

Oh, and don't forget JavaScript. It's been given a bad rap and always paired up with HTML, so it's never taken seriously. Though I'm by no means even competent in JS, I've recently gained a new respect for the language.

Nifty stuff.

More about me

Short, 40ish, Guinness loving, atheistic, gaming, coding, linux/unix using geek. And because I'm just so full of myself, have an old pic:

I think this was taken this decade... barely.

What? You want a recent pic?

I'm part time-lord or something. Ditching the facial hair removed 10 years. Amazing.
