Le Potpourri - One Man's Opinion
|
Comprising thoughts on topics as diverse as a self-describing data structure for standardized information interchange to the unfairness of DOE contractor pensions and no cost of living adjustments, this website has served the author well providing an avenue to the world. The time has come to reorganize it and perhaps to strip out old material. Forthwith, this page will be a first-level, subject index with links to second-level indices for each topic. The second level indices may be subject, ordinary or searchable, keyword indices as appropriate.
