Welcome to Alan Caulkins' personal web site and Internet subdomain.
The "Maxint" domain name comes from an idiom that appears in computer programming languages, particularly C. MAXINT is usually defined to be the largest possible integer that you can represent with a given integer data type. In C under Unix, this is the (typically) 32-bit int, which as a signed data type has a MAXINT of 231 - 1, or 2,147,483,647.
