I never anticipated doing this as a career, so the projects are just scattered over the hard drives of old laptops. Also, some of them are a bit too idiosyncratic (for e.g, in recent years I mostly treat PHP as a functional scripting language — with no good justification other than finding it fun — rather than doing OO stuff) for mainstream applicability.
