Greetings from Gordon

Hi. I work in a University for a group of meteorologists, developing software, installing and supporting other software, and administering several Unix systems, I also participate in field operations where we collect weather data for research. You can reach me here as dev0@.

My Software:

• alloc-1.0 is a collection of dynamic, multi-dimensional array allocators written in C. It provides code that creates two, three, and four dimensional arrays of floats. With straightforward text editing, the programs could be adapted to store other data types. For details, please see the man pages.
• bufile is a Bourne shell script that makes a backup copy of a local file. The copy is named backup/filename_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS, where the suffix gives the instant the copy was created. Local directory backup is created if necessary. It provides a simple way of tracking a few recent versions of a file. For better tracking, use a full featured version control system like Revision Control System.
• vifonts is a wish script that prints a string of all characters using all the fonts returned by xlsfonts in a scrolling text widget.

Other Software That I Use:

• groff is a simple document formatting system. With groff, and without much effort, you can format a plain text file or print out a short letter. With reasonable effort, you can produce complex reports and publications. It is readily available, straightforward to use, has reasonable defaults, and produces a good output in several formats. Here are some notes and hints.

Weather:

• Oklahoma Mesonet
  • Current map
  • Meteogram for Norman
• NCAR RAP Real-Time Weather
• Oklahoma Weather Lab

Books that have helped me a lot:

• Peter Van Der Linden. Expert C Programming
• Harbison and Steele. C: A Reference Manual
• Jens Gustedt Modern C

• My vimrc
