The Writing of Michael David Crawford

I've written quite a few articles and essays which are found in several places around the web. This page serves to index them all in one place.

Some articles are found in more than one place, possibly with somewhat different content.

GoingWare's Bag of Programming Tricks

GoingWare Inc. is my software consulting company. I've been self-employed since April 1998. At first all my articles had to do with programming or the software business, but now I write about all kinds of stuff.

Not Any More! I just started work as a permanent employee of an industrial control systems software publisher near Halifax, Nova Scotia. On the one hand, I don't get to work in my pajamas anymore, but on the other, there are more people to talk to at the office than my cat and two beagles.
