Hi, I'm Donald McCarthy. I work with Electronic Design Automation tools creating design flows, filling in the gaps with novel tools, and generally helping to design and verify integrated circuits. Your phone might have a processor I worked on, or if you have a nice German car, the engine management chips or the braking controllers might be things I've worked on.

I have used the Python programming language for over a decade, and am a python advocate, working by POLITELY (sorry about the shout), spreading the word in forums such as this, and by answering Python queries in blogs. I maintain my own blog Go Deh!.

Rosetta Code Tasks

Although I do a little cleanup of RC pages, and engage in relevant talk page discussions (Kick-me if I seem impolite), I had a stash of examples written for an un-published, (and un-finished to be truthful), book on Python that might be candidates for tasks.

It turned out that, most of the tasks I have written, I developed with RC in mind, and follow my interests at the time. I maintain a list in my talk page of new pages I have created, and, being vain, like to track their viewings, (but I don't artificially pump their viewing stats; that would be impolite, and pretty pointless).

There is one edit that was not for a new page or a task I did that I like to remember, and that was my changes to the entry on Hexadecimal (that also lead to me adding octal).
