Boo's Home Page

Hi, everyone! I've graduated from UMCP, finally, and I'm building my homepage here at Geocities, some six years after I heard of it! I finally found a job with ISI. Here's my resume anyway, in case there are any long-lost friends who may be able to use it to figure out if they've got the right guy, or find out what I've been up to all these years.

I decided to learn JavaScript one day. At the end of that day, the Twelve Days of Christmas in less than 2000 bytes was what I had to show for my efforts.

I have some instructions on how to send me encrypted e-mail (from a Unix or Unix-like system) should you ever need to, say, e-mail me a password or something.

Here is possibly my first publicly released (and totally useless) piece of software, the Shavian Converter.

Probably my most successful JavaScript effort to date, the CookieWiper bookmarklet can be useful. Drag it into your Personal Toolbar folder or the "Links" bar. It attempts to delete all cookies related to the website you're looking at.

Here's something considerably less useful: a Greasemonkey script to fix the annoying lie/lay grammar bug in the otherwise wonderful CSS Zen Garden. You need Firefox (or maybe Mozilla will do) and Greasemonkey to use this.

(I really need better organization here...) In 2007 or so I wrote a long-winded treatise exploring some concepts in the JavaScript language, which I hope some will find useful or at least entertaining. If putting an anonymous function inside an associative array seems like nothing special to you, you can skip this.

A Google search turned up only two instances of the All Your Base novella. I don't know who the original author is, but he/she deserves high praise for recognizing AYB for the incredible wealth of artistic raw material it provides. Since we can't afford to let this fall into oblivion, I'm hosting a copy here.
