There are plenty of “What’s the best open source Windows software for …. ?” on the ‘net but since I’m often asked what I personally use, here’s a list along with my reasons for choosing that option:

dice.py

10 August, 2009 (11:04) | Blog | By: ender

Here ladies and gentlemen is the worlds worst dice-rolling program in Python… Ok, maybe it isn’t the worst. But it’s one of my first complete Python programs [or programs of any language] so I’m sure there are lots of ways to improve it. This is a CLI program that will ask you how many dice [...]

There was a fairly decent storm going by just to the south of me, and to the west was a nice sunset shining out of another, smaller storm. I got some great color out of these, while to the south it was grey and foreboding…

El Morro is a castle/fortress in Old San Juan. It’s pretty impressive as it’s been built out from its beginnings in the mid-1500s through WWII.

Here’s some pictures from our trip to El Yunque, the only rainforst in the US National Forest system.

Long overdue, here’s some pictures of the new house, before we did any fixes. Believe it or not, the pool in these shots was cleaner than it originally was. :)
