Welcome to my new space on the Internet. Making it pretty is a task for the future. In the meantime, files will be transferred gradually from my old website.

My old website is with a small, rural-based ISP. During a recent change of ownership, some services (particularly member home page maintenence) were left in limbo, with neither the old owners nor the new taking care of them. I don't know all of the relevant circumstances, but the result is that I was forced to look for new territory on the web.

I have a blog called The Outer Hoard. The purpose of this site is to complement the blog by serving as a home for items that don't belong there, such as PHP scripts.

The domain name quidjfravzgembtchowlkspynx is a word I invented several years ago that contains every letter of the English alphabet, yet can be easily pronounced in five syllables. More information here.


Here is a list of items I have uploaded so far.

My latest project is the Blog Post Inspiration Engine.

Transference of items from old website is now complete. Note that a lot more of it went to my blog than to here.

A record of my customised Microsoft Word toolbars and menus (commentary here).

Magicians' secrets, including the Tale of the Three Altars, inside a password-protected folder. Contact me for access permission.

Code for a platform game written in Microsoft QBasic back in the day (commentary here).

Some PDF sheet music, including modes.pdf, a tune I composed as a teenager in the nineties making use of the concept of musical modes (commentary here), and FSMR.pdf, an unfinished composition that I was working on around 2004 (commentary here).
