Papers, papers everywhere ...

Recently I got harangued by a couple of people for not having a list of my papers and books on the blog. (Go figure!) So here goes, and probably eventually I'll link to downloadable versions (until then just remember that Google Is Your Friend!)

Note, this does not include standards and specifications I've worked on! Furthermore, it's definitely out of date by a few years as well as me forgetting a few things that have happened over the past 20. Check here for a more accurate list, though I suspect even that has some problems.
