I'm a computer scientist who retired after 35 years of public
service. My hobbies include software development (no surprise
there) as well as working on and driving my 1967 Mustang; I am
also an amateur radio operator (call sign KB3HHA). I operate
mainly using digital modes on HF. Finally, I run a personal
weather station that is a part of the Citizen's Weather Observer
Program and Weather Underground.
While I don't program professionally anymore I do still write
software for my own personal use when the mood (or need) strikes
me. I have decided to make some of the applications that might
have a wider appeal beyond myself available for download.
Documentation is minimal for some of the applications but I am
working on it.
I moved my software to a new web site hosting provider. You can find my software here.
1967 Ford Mustang Hardtop
I have owned this car since August 1974. I have done several
"rolling restorations" on it since then. All of my long time
friends have some memories of cruising around in this car.
Some of them still ride with me today when I take the car out.
HAM Radio station KB3HHA
I earned my amateur radio operator's license in October 2001.
Since then I have made many contacts with many other radio
amateurs (hams) around the world. To find out more about my
station equipment and antennas, any projects I might be working
on, as well as my most recent contacts, visit my amateur radio
page.
Personal Weather Station
I have operated a personal weather station since 2007. It has been
through several iterations, including both commercial and homebrew
weather sensor hardware, and several computers. The most recent
version uses a Davis Vantage Vue with a Raspberry Pi single board
computer. I developed all of the software for the weather station
and weather web site.
