As many guitarists, I decided I needed to build a pedal board for my effects pedals.  Actually, I wanted to buy one...but none met my "needs" or at least my perceived needs.

With that in mind I went off to build something to hold my effects.  So I wrote this brain dump of information about my effort (forgive the spelling and grammar errors...).

Being a musician, I really enjoyed a thread on ultimate-guitar that described a large number of jokes about musicians.  Since this is a guitar site, most were not surprisingly about drummers (which BTW, I am one) or bass players.  I captured some of my favorites in this post.

Webcommando is "the" domain for Carl Davis and the entire Davis Clan.  I'm someone who's had a lot of interesting work experience, from building Machine vision applications for challenging manufacturing processes to managing the entire development organization for an Internet startup.  This site provides a glimpse into some of the things I enjoy (or once enjoyed!) doing. At one point was a leading reviewer for HTML editor reviews (could find my site mentioned as an authority in many a news group!).  Also, I had many requests for source and "how-to" information for the applets I created (back in the Java 1.0.2 days!).

This page is the starting point for everything.  This includes old work, new projects, and even software I've developed for RPGCommando. 

One of the most exciting things on the site is the introduction of the RPG Commando!  This is dedicated to utilities I've written for Gamers (Role Playing Games) to help them streamline their games.  These aren't for PC games, but the old fashion Dungeon and Dragon types (D&D is a trademark of Wizards of the Coast). 

Some of the items are pretty old, but I kept them around.  You may ask why keep old, out-dated, stuff around.  The reason is to capture some history and to show what sorts of things I once enjoyed doing.  Some of my side project (i.e. HTML editor reviews) fell by the wayside as my title and position, and thus responsibilities, grew.  It's easy to long for the days of being a Software Engineer design object oriented applications for automation cells, but the world constantly changes.

Now, I work for a major medical equipement manufacturer driving the development of high-end Java-based solutions.  It's challenging but very rewarding to know you can save lives with the software you built.
