What I do with my time

Teaching

spectral is the base site for my notes for courses on things like Networking Infrastructure, Networking Applications, Unix System Administration, XML, Java programming. for all of my teaching.

Researching

• PoP is the base site for my work on patterns as related to networking protocols
• SoC is the base site for my work on separation of concerns in enterprise programming

What I ought to be doing with my time

• Finishing the networks book
• Finishing a monograph showing how to construct for any spectral topological space a commutative ring with unity whose spectral space it is.
• Getting much further along with work on PreProPer which is a system to facilitate the separation of the concerns of Presentation, Processing, and Persistence.

What I did with my time long ago

Bruce Goff describes my work with the architect Bruce Goff trying to help get his very remarkable buildings constructed. This was prepared for a talk at the Tate Gallery in London in June, 2008, only 40 years after the work was done.

What I would like to do with my time

I have two twin grandchildren Devon and Olivia, who are 10-year-old 5th-graders at this point. They are the smartest, best-looking, and most talented two children ever born (in an unbiased opinion) but they live too far away: in Frisco, Texas, near Dallas where I was born. I'd like to hang around with them before they grow up so much (of course they already have).

This picture is them riding their bikes for their first day at school.
