My weblog used to be here, but I made it a family weblog at thesylvans.com.

Some projects...
a free,open, general directory in a wiki.
Important info about jury duty (read this!!)

For pictures of my beautiful children and other nice things about my family go to thesylvans.com.

When I was laid off work last spring, I got more heavily into programming on the web, including writing code for mediawiki to be used in the wiki directory. I've done a bunch of stuff for vacationrental.org, including setting up dynamic thumbnails for rental photos and building a simple coding mechanism for image maps.

Other projects and tidbits on the web:

I've working on category intersections for mediawiki.
I've written a few things for Search Engine Workshops including a custom RSS page and a chat transcript parser.
A variety of tools and small scripts, including a http header checker.

And a couple other things that may or may not be interesting:

When I was first learning javascript: a client side encryption program.
For a few months I was obsessed to build an electric assist bicycle (not so obsessed any more).

Here's my resume (it's a little out of date, now I'm working for Eklin Medical Systems).
