welcome

Welcome to Weill Aspects, the new archive for Jason Weill Web Productions. Here, you'll find all of the articles posted on this site, now posted on a monthly basis.

Although this section contains all articles of substantial length, it does not include site news or other minor updates posted. Most of these updates are from mid- to late-1998, and are contained towards the bottom of the old news archive. They will not be updated here, since they do not have so much as a title.

That said, on with the articles. You may browse by year, or select an article directly from the lists below.

This is Weill Aspects, the official news archive of Jason Weill Web Productions. All articles posted to the front page end up here. This page was generated automatically by a series of Perl scripts.

Articles in Weill Aspects are organized solely by date. You may find the Google search in the left column to be useful if you are looking for an article but do not know the date on which it was posted.

Weill Aspects is composed of static web pages generated as appropriate when a new article is posted. It was developed in May 2001 as a way of managing the content on this site. I also used it extensively while in Japan, during which time I did not have continuous access to the Internet. I was able to write daily updates during July and August 2002, pack the files onto a CD-R or memory device, and upload them from the Internet-connected computers at school.

These scripts are all hacked together in less than elegant fashion, and I don't plan to release them. Some of the design that went into Aspects also was used to develop Livestat, a suite of Perl scripts to process statistics for academic competition tournaments. Livestat is available freely.
