The Dossier

Writings by Chris Pressey. May be curational in nature (whatever that means.) May pertain to Cat's Eye Technologies, or may not. They are written in Feedmark format, so in a pinch they can be read directly in a Markdown viewer such as git.catseye.tc, but they are canonically hosted at https://catseye.tc/view/The-Dossier/README.md.

Articles with a published-date are "frozen" and are not expected to be changed (edits will be noted). All other articles are subject to change. In particular, articles marked (U) are considered "under construction".
