Just a quick note to inform you that the TikZ examples have been relocated to www.texample.net/tikz/examples/
Over the last couple years this site has accumulated a considerable amount of LaTeX-oriented content. The most popular content has without doubt been the TikZ and PGF examples. I have now collected close to hundred examples, most of them contributed by the community. To reflect this I felt the need for giving the examples a home that is not so tightly coupled with my personal web site. The result is TeXample.net.
Currently I have only moved the examples, but I plan to move most of the TeX-oriented content over to TeXample.net soon.

directly in your LaTeX documents. The dot2tex tool is used to invoke
Graphviz for graph layout, and to transform the output from Graphviz to
LaTeX code. The process is automated if shell escape is enabled

PGF
and TikZ is a package for creating high quality illustrations for use
with LaTeX, ConTeX or pure TeX. It is a package that deserves a larger
user base. I've therefore created a
gallery of examples
with code and results. Its purpose is to showcase PGF/TikZ and hopefully
be a useful learning resource.

BibConverter has become a popular
tool since I released it last year. Domain
names are quite cheap nowadays, so I decided to buy the bibconverter.net
domain and move BibConverter from the server at work to my new web host
Webfaction. Now I have more freedom to develop BibConverter further, and
users have a much easier URL to remember: http://www.bibconverter.net.
