hello, pittsburgh!

I've finally arrived at Carnegie Mellon University here in Pittsburgh, PA, and it's been a great orientation week thus far. Classes start Monday, and it looks like I'll probably be far too busy to do any heavy-duty updating after then. That said, there are a few things you might want to notice.

First, we're now on a new domain! Please set your bookmarks to www.weill.org, even though it's currently set to bounce to this page. To go along with this new arrangement, a new logo has been created, and details about it are also available. Should the location of this page change, as it very well might, the domain name will always point to it. Also, my new semi-permanent e-mail address is jweill@andrew.cmu.edu, which will be in operation until the fall of 2003. Now on with the page updates:

First, on a happy note, all of the pictures from my trip up to Cambridge have been processed and scanned. Five of them now appear in the picture archive. Some of the information therein has also been updated.

Secondly, you'll notice that my new e-mail address should officially have replaced the older @northeast.net and @optonline.net domains. If you notice a link to an older mailbox, please let me know as soon as possible.

Lastly, I'm sorry to say that two of the pages are officially unsupported, and will no longer be updated. Now that weill.org is mine, the quest for weill.com is over. And, on an unfortunate note, I'm no longer actively supporting OS/2 -- I've moved on to the greener pastures of Linux.

Back to August 1999, or to the year 1999.

Where am I?

This is Weill Aspects, the official news archive of Jason Weill Web Productions. All articles posted to the front page end up here. This page was generated automatically by a series of Perl scripts.

Articles in Weill Aspects are organized solely by date. You may find the Google search in the left column to be useful if you are looking for an article but do not know the date on which it was posted.

Weill Aspects is composed of static web pages generated as appropriate when a new article is posted. It was developed in May 2001 as a way of managing the content on this site. I also used it extensively while in Japan, during which time I did not have continuous access to the Internet. I was able to write daily updates during July and August 2002, pack the files onto a CD-R or memory device, and upload them from the Internet-connected computers at school.

These scripts are all hacked together in less than elegant fashion, and I don't plan to release them. Some of the design that went into Aspects also was used to develop Livestat, a suite of Perl scripts to process statistics for academic competition tournaments. Livestat is available freely.
