At this time, topics other than cryptography are temporarily unavailable. I regret the inconvenience.

This web site features an extensive section concerning cryptography:

A Cryptographic Compendium

Originally, I had among the pages on other topics, a single page about a map projection of my own. Now, having once again written, this time to run on a PC, a program to draw maps in a variety of projections, the related site with materials on topics other than cryptography now contains:

Map Projections

an extensive series of pages describing several map projections and how to construct them.


I am currently available for opportunities in the areas of computer programming, technical writing, or web site design. My resumé is available on request by E-mail.
