Jesse W's Sundry Stuff

Hello, web wanderer! My name is Jesse Weinstein. Welcome to my little space on the web; feel free to look around.

The PURL for this page is: http://purl.org/NET/JesseW/SundryStuff/. Please use it instead of the address in the address bar.

For an odd little cartoon I found, see the Battlestar Galapagos page.

For a collection of notes I've made on the Java language, see my Java Notes page.

For access to my various Python programs, see my Python Efforts page.

Z shell bits I've written are on Zee zsh zings page.

For the curious, you can find out more about me through the Who Am I? page.

I have a page of political fliers I and friends have created. Feel free to look them over, and use them if you desire.

I wrote an altered (improved, I hope) version of the Prayer of St. Francis, after I was asked to join in reciting it as part of a ceremony.

I also have a page of links to various interesting things.

I have other accounts at the following sites:

• http://www.reed.edu/~weinstej/ -- Currently inactive, as I am not attending Reed.
• http://en.wikipedia.org/usr/JesseW -- Also generally inactive, as I have cut back my Wikipedia activities.
• http://www.groklaw.net/users.php?mode=profile&uid=11618

I wrote a few notes on the Honey Pot Project vs Does anti-spam lawsuit.

I wrote a few notes on a lawsuit attempting to reverse a expansion of the no-speech zones outside LA County Superior courthouses.

I wrote an analysis of the required distribution of source code in versions 2 and 3 of the GPL as a comment on LWN.net, and decided to publish it here, too.

I've finally made another change to this website. I've added some Python programs I've been meaning to post here. A tiny one-liner, num2ordinal I wrote a long while ago, and Short Form, a way to keep the python shell from printing out big piles of text. I'll try and get more up, I promise.
BTW, I had to contact netwood, my hosting provider, to get re-enable my access to this web space. It had somehow gotten lost when they switched over a machine. Shows how often I've updated. ;-) Nevertheless, netwood is a good provider- they're local, and provide good solid service for ~$20/month.
Hah. It turned out I hadn't goten around to listing most of my Python Efforts on the Vaults of Parnassus. I've fixed this error. Maybe someone will actually send me some mail about them now...
