Since my first course in Applesoft BASIC back in 8th grade, I've been hooked on computer programming. Over the years I've worked with a large number of languages, libraries, frameworks, modules, etc. This page summarizes some of my projects, and includes links to some of the more extensively-documented ones.

Projects

pgipfauth

The IPF firewall software (used in Solaris) has a little-used feature that allows one to write rules that will attempt to build a packet disposition by passing the packet (headers only or headers and payload) to a program running outside the kernel.

These "bells" have long been virtual: audio files purchased from a vendor and played through amplified speakers on building roofs. Yet even virtual bells age, and the aging hardware and software on which the chimes were being played was slated for replacement. Read more.
