| Computer Experience: |
I have at least 4 years experience with all of the following:
Languages:
Perl, PHP, C, SQL, C++, Java, HTML, JavaScript
Environments:
Macintosh OS, MS Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, *NIX, TCP/IP networking,
AppleTalk networking
And Programs:
PostgreSQL, mySQL, Asterisk, Apache, openLDAP, Postfix, Samba, QEMU, VMWare, gcc, LaTeX
I have considerable expertise in Linux, including the design and maintenance of my own distribution —
Zinux Linux. Zinux is based on the Linux from Scratch project, but has been greatly
customized and extended for my own requirements. Most significantly, I have created an automatic build system
that makes from-source installation of the entire OS a simple and speedy process. Zinux includes a complete set
of standard Linux tools, a variety of Internet and network servers, and even a live CD for easy installation and
emergency use.
I have also contributed patches or other code for several open-source projects including clamdmail, qmail-ldap, and dovecot, (all in C) written
several WoW addons including AcceptDailies, AutoGroupFriends, and TurnInEverything (all in
LUA) and have completed a variety of unpublished personal programming projects such as a hybrid BlueTooth/GPS multi-user location tracker that includes both web (PHP, PgSQL) and BlackBerry (Java) components,
and a web-enabled, multi-zone, scheduled, proximity-sensing, weather-aware thermostat (C, PHP, Perl, Bash, PgSQL).
