Hi!

I'm Tony. It's been about two years, but welcome to the most recent incarnation of my website.

By day, I write software -- or at least I used to. Now I make sure other people can write software.

In return, they pretend to let me tell them what to do.

In my copious free time, I'm completing my master's degree in computer science.

I am studying how to gauge success given how a student may interact with their online coursework software.

As a hobby, I build robots and other electronic gizmos. Some of them are already documented on the site -- more are coming.

And we're back.

Well, that was a bit of an extended absence. It's been about two years since I have seriously updated this site, and about six months getting around to a new site layout. In the last two years, quite a lot has happened:

  • Diyode is off the ground, and we may actually survive!
  • I've achieved gainful employment at MRX.
  • I've delved back into my masters degree.

The new version of this site is statically built, and compiled with nanoc. This time I've decided to build the site template from scratch. This means there may be sporadic service until I get everything squared away neatly. In the mean time, there's a colophon that outlines some of the software used, and where to find it.

Every year, I make Sheena a Valentines card. A few years ago I didn't have a chance to go to the local card shop, and made one from art supplies I had on hand. Now I'm doomed -- I can't go back ...

This is part two of a series.  Part one covered the hardware build.  Part three will cover the python based host software. Without any further ado: Firmware This entire project was based around ...

This Weekend's Project.

08 Feb 2010
I was inspired last night, so I made this little gizmo. It's a blinky sign, about the size of a 3x5 index card. It's destined for a specific purpose, so check back in a couple weeks for the reveal.
