I write software for libraries and archives. I try to live up to at least the former in Release Early, Release Often, so most of my code musings can be found on GitHub. The idea is things incubate there, and if they ever become anything more than a plaything they migrate to a place like CPAN, RubyForge, Python Cheeseshop, etc…
