Dan Risacher's software project pages

I'm an open-source advocate, and software hobbyist. Over the years I've done a bit of hacking on various things. I write the occasional piece of software for myself, but I've rarely shared them with the world because I rarely have put enough polish on things to make me think they were worth sharing.

At the urging of some friends, I've decided to try to go back and polish some of these past musings and put them into 'releaseable' form, and document them with web pages and such.
