This is where I put things I made or found that people ask me for from time to time.

Please note that many of the pictures on PowerPoint presentations are not my own, but were emailed to me from time to time. I therefore lay no claim to their authorship, and request any authors of such pictures who would like me to remove such pictures to email me and I will do so immediately.
