Welcome to my website! This is the place to see what I am doing!

Exploration

I like to explore around the region. Here are some pages that record my adventures.

Here are links to various projects I'm working on or have worked on.

pchapin's GitHub. Use this as a starting point to access the various open source projects I'm contributing to or maintaining.
Information on Open Watcom. Here is a snapshot of the development version of Open Watcom. To install, unpack the snapshot in some suitable location (avoid paths with spaces). To use, open a console and run the useOW script in the root of the distribution to set up the environment of that console.
The CubeSat Laboratory project. This is a lightly edited copy of the official website. See also the Flying SPARKs blog for updates about the work.

I have tutorials and class materials that I wrote while teaching at Vermont State University. They are in various states of completion.

Ada Tutorial. Source files for the various sample programs used in the tutorial. GitHub repository.
C Tutorial. A semester-long course in C for first time programmers. This tutorial also covers some advanced topics. GitHub repository.
C++ Tutorial. This tutorial focuses on C++98 and assumes C experience. I hope to someday update it to describe a more modern version of C++. GitHub repository.
Linear Algebra Tutorial. This tutorial is in the very early stages. I wrote it to support specific topics in one course that I taught. I would like to enhance it to have wider applicability. GitHub repository.
POSIX Threads Tutorial. This tutorial covers both POSIX threads specifically and some thread programming topics in general. GitHub repository.
Technically Rambling is my blog about various technical things I sometimes think about. Most posts are tutorial in nature, some are more philosophical.
Unix Tutorial. This is a description of Unix that applies, more or less, to any Unix-like system. GitHub repository.
