Welcome

Who am you?

I am Daniel F. Smith! Welcome to my domain. This is where I put files and photos and various stuff. I have have a web log, if you are interested in what I'm currently doing. I also starred (or co-starred) in a small wedding back in 2005.

What are you?

This is dfsmith Ah, the tough questions come quickly. I'll get around to answering this one as soon as my DNA test gets submitted. In the meantime, you are welcome to hazard a guess at what I am from what I look like.

Where are you?

I live with my wife and kids in the vicinity of Gig Harbor, Washington.

Why am I here?

You are probably here to find out about dfsmith (that's me!) or about something I put on here (which was me!*). If that's so, you're in the right place. This web site exists as a front-end to the experiments that go on underneath, so you are not expecting to see anything exciting.*

* Unless it was embarrassing, illegal or plain dumb, in which case it wasn't me.

What can I see here?

It's all rather dated, but I've got some photo essays set up. Feel free to browse through them. In addition, I have some software I developed years ago (I publish though GitHub now, but it's not cutting edge, otherwise my employer would claim it). Or perhaps you're interested in my past power consumption and generation?

I've put some of my short, and rather silly, movies here. The Elvis videos are better served from my brother's YouTube channel.

You haven't put much effort into this web site, have you?

Err, no. Um, sorry. My wife has some much spiffier pages for her web design business though.

What's the best way to contact you?

If you are net-savvy, you can probably guess my email addres fairly easily.

Hey, didn't you (and your brother) have a web site back in the 90s? Like 1994–97?

Um, yes. From a 1/4" tape cartridge I present... early HTML! And people wonder why programmers shouldn't design web pages. (By the way, don't expect non-local links to work; these pages are ancient in web time.)
