I created The Taxonomy of Androtics. Previous searches of the web revealed a little about fictional androids, but the results was mostly about the pinball game "Android." Until reason to the contrary, I CLAIM TO BE THE FIRST DOCTOR OF ANDROTICS and the first authority on android making. Therefore, check out my new Android Making Page.

Check out the Joke Wall.

My DEAD business

*          Wrote a Membership List Manager ; some functions in continual revision and refinement as new needs are identified.

*          Wrote a Recreation Reservation System ; a "little long in the tooth," but still does the job ten years after delivery. Older software in newer computers and expanded networked environments maintain responsiveness for the users.

*          Wrote an Ore Sample Data Manager and conversion utilities for modeling and presentation preparation. Interest in this system ebbs and flows. I plan a minor modification for the next flow.

*          Wrote a well report data collection system. About 200 North Central Washington water well drilling reports are captured with locations, pumping and water table information, and of the material drilled through (crude lithologies).

*          Wrote several data conversion utilities used in my geoelectric computing work. Two of these, TmxZ2DEG (TEMIX-Z 1-D models "to" Distance, Elevation, Grade -for pseudosections) and TmxZ2XYG (likewise; TEMIX-Z 1-D models "to" X, Y, Grade -for maps), have been used and cited in other's investigations.

*          Wrote training standards and lesson plans for formal training in General Computer Literacy, WordPerfect use, Data Communications, and Data Management (using Microrim's R:Base Relational Data Base Management System engine). (These may need updated some before their next use.)

    Ordinarily, I would not (or "should" not) refer to "vaporware" in a list of creations, but I believe that it may be informative or interesting to know of projects in various stages of development. Some of you may encourage me to put a higher priority on their favorite item. Some of my works not ready for "prime time" are:

*          A "Geotechnical Computists Text and Reference Manual" which is in crude manuscript form. If I only had a book like this when I started this type of work! This covers general computer literacy and other topics in the first part and specific processes in the second. The specific processes include a brief about D.C. Resistivity, a little about a worksheet-based Jacob type well analysis, and a lot about Time Domain Electro-Magnetics (TDEM) from the Zonge Geophysical Data Processing receivers. A lot more still needs to be written.

*          Another data conversion utility (TmxZ2-3D); to convert a site's TDEM station TEMIX-Z 1-D interpretations to an X, Y, Z, G data format for three-dimensional gridding. This program needs more testing, but it has prepared some test data for a RockSolid (by Rockware, Inc.) model.

*          Writing a lesson plan that concentrates on data base design for an associate. It is to be product independent even though it adds to the information presented in the data base design chapter in the R:Base manuals.
