Welcome to TheDesignatedGeek.NET (formerly .COM)

This website was designed with multiple purposes in mind.  One is  to give me a place to put up the FOSS (Free Open Source Software) goodies that I create. 

Another is to have a site that will support the code that I have created for my series of articles on Beginning Programming Using Python  that can be found in Full Circle Magazine starting in issue # 27.  Currently I am working on part 7.

Eventually you will find information about my FOSS projects, code snippets, tips and tricks and more.

Please check back often to see the additions.

Currently, most of the links above will work, but that's only temporary.
