PLEASE NOTE

This is an archive of my old web site. It was retired in November 2003 and replaced by my new web site at http://wardley.org/. You should go visit there.

	Template Toolkit For far too long now I've been hacking the Template Toolkit, a collection of Perl modules, scripts, libraries, etc., that collectively implement a "Presentation Management System" (to coin a phrase) for building extensible, scalable, dynamic and attractive web content. You should go visit the Template Toolkit web site is that's your thing. Graphics Tools and Utilities Ages ago I used to do lots of POV-Ray hacking and wrote a few graphics tools, toys, utilities and hacks. Most of these originate from my pre-Perl days, and they're in C. MultiGIF: cross-platform GIF animation tool, complete with source. Geodome: geodesic dome dataset generator for the POV-Ray ray tracer. ABWTwist: twisted chains of objects for the POV-Ray ray tracer.
	The phrase "Digital Artist?" sounded pretty cool when I first thought of it a few years ago. Since then, everyone and everything has become a "Digital Something" or "Online Whatever". It's beginning to sound like a tired old cliche, but I really can't be bothered to change it right now. I would call myself a Graphic Designer (more accurately, a Graphic Designer wannabe) but I'm not very good with pens and brushes that don't have an "undo" feature. Besides, I'm a hacker. I just play graphics on TV. Parrot is a virtual machine intended for Perl 6 and other languages. Kokopelli is a South American legendary dude with a big pipe. The rec.kites Logo: I was asked to update the rec.kites logo. This is what happened.
	Collected together here, for enhanced ignorability, are all the trivial personal details you never wanted to know about me. Andy Who? Meaningless personal trivia. Commerical Email. My commercial email reading service designed to lure spammers into putting food on my table.
