Thomas McCarthy-Howe.
Forty years of real-time communications engineering, from troposcatter modems at Signatron to the IETF vCon standard, now a working group and standards-track document. The site renders the career as the thing it is about: a vCon, with parties, dialog, analysis, and attachments. The keys are navigable. The button above shows the same document in its canonical form, signatures and all.
