My current technical weblog is <a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/jtobler/">Tobler.SoftwareArchitecture()</a>. I have a few other weblogs on other topics.

This new tutorial is available for free download in several formats (I recommend the <a href="http://www.g2swaroop.net/files/byte/byte_of_python_pdf_115.pdf">color PDF version</a>). Python is fun and free!

It appears that the archive files from 2/28/2001 to 2/13/2003 have been restored and are now available. <a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/jtobler/">CSharpener's Weblog</a> is still my main technical weblog but now that <a href="http://www.blogger.com/">Blogger.com</a> has restored the missing files, I will continue to post some information here. I have been able to implement a very convenient search capability on <a href="https://cyberjet.tripod.com/grepninjalog/">GrepNinjaLog</a>, thanks to a free <a href="http://www.atomz.com/applications/search/trial.htm">Atomz Express Search</a> account provided by <a href="http://www.atomz.com/">Atomz.com</a>. You can perform basic search using the [::..Atomz Standard Search..::] box in the top left area of the page. Power users can use the [::..Atomz Advanced Search..::] at the bottom of the page.

Because the Blogger.com service has become crufty and blecherous.
Blogger.com has apparently lost or trashed my archives from 2/28/2001 to the present and I have been unable to contact any human being at Blogger.com who will respond to, much less care about, the blogging tragedy they have caused for me.
I have started a new technical weblog, <a href="http://dotnetweblogs.com/Jtobler/">CSharpener's Blog</a>. You are welcome to follow my technical ramblings there!
