David Albeck's Home Page

• I keep My Photo Album online. Mostly hiking trips and other travel, some miscellaneous stuff. Be sure to check out my favorite photos page.


• I go hiking often enough that I've started accumulating Hiking-related Info.


• I do a little writing once in a long while. Stuff I think is worth sharing is on my writings page.


• I like language games.

External Archives containing my Work

• One of my photos was used as Photo of the Week in NHPR's "Something Wild" photo blog (March 21, 2008).


• Another was used by Northern Woodlands magazine in winter 2007 (print edition only).


• Lots of my photos, and descriptions of my hiking and climbing trips, are online at Summitpost.


• My infamous Python "bug" report is no longer the #1 Google hit for my name, in fact it seems to have disappeared entirely from Google's index. But the Web does not forget: the page linked to above contains the entire embarrassing episode.


• Google itself (well, Deja.com originally) preserved my one semi-legitimate claim to bug-reporting fame, a Perl bug discovered by a coworker of mine. I was teaching a lesson on the behavior of truth values in Perl, and he contradicted me. I was right according to the language specification, and he was right according to the program he'd just written. (The bug had already been fixed in a more recent release.)
