This site

This is the second website I have built; the first is still available on Github. This site emerged as a ‘Keep up with the Jones’ sort of project. My previous website was . . . ugly. This one is much nicer, although for now it lacks much of the content.

See also The Blog of Charles Daniels, who inspired me to create this site.

I plan to update this site with news of my exploits.
