Welcome to the homepage of Parand Tony Darugar. Look below for the various sections. Here's the album.

Here's the inevitable blog, Standard Deviations.

I write and present on various topics related to the web and its future, including high performance web applications, XML, and Web Services.

Here live a set of very old guides and how-to's, including the Very Basic Guide to Unix, and introductions to gnuplot, RCS, and SCCS. Most are woefully out of date, but I still get requests for them once in a while, so I've made them available here.

I'm involved with several open source projects, including Tcl-SQL, a generic Tcl interface to SQL databases, initially implemented for MySQL, Loxy, a logging proxy intended to allow inspection and tracing of the interactions between web browsers and servers, and VeloMeter, a Java based tool for simulating load on web applications and measuring response times.

Please note; all of the above are sorely out of date and haven't been maintained in some years. They'll likely work for you, but they're not really supported anymore
