Rizwan Kassim's INSERT TITLE HERE Work that I've Done, Guides I have written, Stuff I found, A Bit about Me Hi. I'm Rizwan Kassim. INSERT BLURB HERE. I was going to do this site with a Wiki or Drupal until a conversation with Dan Kegel convinced me of the beauty of simplicty. He describes his own site as a "over-grown bunch of notes" and I've found his extremely easy to navigate. "What they call talent is nothing but the capacity for doing continuous hard work in the right way." -- Winslow Homer Podcast Enabled, Downloading Enabled This American Life MP3s via Podcast or HTTP Archive My Photography

  • Making a regex/sed 'cheatsheet' so I can finally use it daily without regoogling for info each time.
  • Moving site maintainance from CVS to Subversion --- once I decide if i like Subversion.
  • "Only until someone makes a software program that lets me control what to do with my typos" --- sounds like a request to me! Of course, Make magazine recently linked to some resources already.
