Welcome! You've Found Tom Almy's Home Page

You can download my Freeware and Shareware programs, including SimHC12, XLISP-PLUS, Lazyman Sudoku, Lazyman Minefield, and ForthCMP, from here. 68HCS12 Textbook and simulator are now on their own site.
Information about classes I teach is here Read my mercifully short autobiography page, and see the plans for a simple but surprisingly difficult puzzle you can build in a wood workshop.
Photograph gallery -- Portland Japanese Garden at 200 (millimeters, that is).
My general photo gallery is here. It has pictures of all the lighthouses in Oregon as well as lots of Oregon waterfalls. Also see my High Dynamic Range and panoramic shots. 		Do you use PGP or GPG, both excellent and free public key encryption systems? If so, you might want my pgp key. If you need it, I also have a PGP 5.0 style key.
Are you an Almy? Check in here! My father has a Web site, news.almy.us which contains recent issues of the Almy Family Newsletter. The complete Almy genealogy is available and the complete collection of newsletters (spanning 28 years) is available in PDF /HTML formats on CD. I've switched to a Mac. See my critique here. Also see my commentary on why my new MacBook is the best notebook computer I've ever owned. And I have a new page about the software I use on the Macs.

I've moved this site on occasion. See why here. I've also switched from DSL to FiOS®.
