I haven't used this in a while for reasons, but I hadn't really migrated to that other place academics have gone. I've been updating my social media with my new job position and that's spurred me to get more active over there. You can find me at the same username.

As always, 'upon resonable request' in absence of IP/privacy issues should not count as 'making code available .'
