For the past 25 years, I've been a contract software engineer with a lot of experience in back-end and middleware solutions; and low-level, real-time (sometimes embedded) mainly C-language projects. Also SNMPv2 and v3 MIBs and Agents. Over the years, though, I've done so many different and interesting kinds of things that I claim I can call myself a generalist.
I consider coding to be a perfectible craft with its own kind of beauty.
I'm always looking for new projects: pete@pwilson.net

Which font is this? (from a Creative Review email) To my amateur eye, it's close to Bembo Semibold Ital: fonts.com/findfonts/detail.htm?productid=215079 . Except for the traitorous, crummy-looking y-descender in the linked page. |

How improve my table-cell highlighting scheme? thanks! yes, i'll try your fade-in suggestion: seems a good idea. each fade step is 1/10 second, so maybe 2 steps of fade-in followed by the current fade-out. and i'll work on the jumpiness. also thanks for the additional tags. |
