This is a place-holder for information about the author of pages in Orcmid's Lair and all other sites.  There's more-playful content to be tied in here, some day real soon now.

Orcmid is a pseudonym (or "handle" or "nom de bit" or "pseudonimo della Rete") for Dennis E. Hamilton, Software Architecture Golden Geek.  Orcmid is the webmaster and project lead for all orcmid.github.io projects. The name was chosen in the late 70's for use in on-line gaming.  It was perpetuated on the early CompuServe CB simulator and from then on had a life of its own.  I had ORCMID vanity plates in New York State, California, and now Washington State.  Orcmid's Lair was the pet name for my  townhouse in Sunnyvale, California, and it has been the identification of home sites on the Web. People in Japan have used "orcmid" on Google to find useful information about me and my work.  I was recently reconnected with colleague Ted Smith as the result of a coincidence between orcmid and Alfred North Whitehead. Orcmid is here to stay.

[That is a much longer story and it will have to wait]

Orcmid Materials Are Being Repurposed/Preserved/Repaired on GitHub. Migration to new servers introduces a number of problems that require repairs.  In addition to those defects, some older pages also need to be modified and reorganized for consistency across The orcmid.github.io organization.  While the site is being preserved to accomplish both kinds of improvements and adjustments, you may notice discrepancies and problems with links to site content.
