About Me

• More than you want to know about me
  I wasn't born here, but almost my whole life since 2nd grade I've been an Alaskan. I graduated from the Juneau-Douglas high school, then from the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, then studied the aurora (northern lights) at the the University's Geophysical Institute. When I finally had enough school I went to work for the Alaska state government with the last ten years as IT manager for the state dept of labor. I enjoy summer salmon fishing in Juneau and winter vacations in Mexico. An ambition is to win the Golden North Salmon Derby which will probably require divine intervention as I've fished it dozens of times and rarely catch a legal king during the derby.
• Other stuff of mine ...
  • KICKS - an enhancement for CMS & TSO on IBM mainframes (or emulators) that lets you run your CICS applications directly instead of having to 'install' those apps in CICS. You don't even need CICS itself installed on your mainframe.
  • CompareEM - an MS-Access tool to compare two Access databases and generate VBA to migrate one to the other.
  • PowerTroll - Outboard trolling motor auto-pilot, build your own from my instructions on this web site...
