INTRODUCTION IN OCCASIONAL PROGRESS: There always seem to be more interesting things to do than write introductions.
As with anyone else, I do not use any software for very long without thinking that my experience of it might be improved. Fortunately, my interest in computers is not with using them but with developing techniques for studying the software that runs on them. Of course I hope that those techniques will someday find wide application for a wide benefit, but in the meantime, the availability of these techniques to me means that unlike most software consumers, I personally am far from helpless. If a problem in my ordinary use of a computer exasperates me enough, I have the means to determine whether the problem is a bug or a feature, and then to do something about it. Given time and whim, whatever resolution I find for my own purposes may get written up here.
