Potted plants as an artist might render them from an Indian Restaurant in Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Welcome to Pogysoft

Pogysoft is a collection of votes (links) to sites which the author has found artistic, provocative, or otherwise useful. My work and hobbies are computing, hiking, and looking around, so you will find lots of that in here. I have a few programs of my own creation here too. I have been improving this site lately, adding real menus instead of Microsoft-driven navigation and replacing the photo rotation with more up-to-date technology.You won't find a lot of games or flashing or blinking stuff here. I am just not that kind of person. There are plenty of other sites for that already.

Have a look around at some of the projects... they are mostly curios from my past; none is a serious product, so much as an idea which could be taken to an application given motivation and money.

The emailer is text-only. It has a funky double-click selection interface left-over from spam-driven design and redesign. I use it to keep my email in the filesystem whilest avoiding the download of viruses. The budget tool is useful, though it has a few bugs and can be discouraging. I don't recall what tax year I based it on, but it is fairly recent. Everyone who needs to poke at unfamiliar sites should query some version of the whois program just to know where the unfamiliar site comes from.

My current preferred toolsets are C# and ASP.NET, in which some of this is written, though that is subject to change if you have work that is committed to a different platform. PHP is powerful, but undisciplined and does not separate code from content. Perl is slowly becoming history along with Linux. I can still afford the academic license, so this is all not-for-profit; if you want to do something commercial, let's talk!

If you have questions, find bugs (this is a casual site), or want to build a website, please let me know at my contact page.

We are currently in Eugene Oregon, having left the Charlotte North Carolina metro around the first of the year. As we knew but never fully appreciated, it rains here. Charlotte has weather. Eugene has rain.

Here are some interesting links:
