Notes:
Just a note for the Slashdot password admins. I forgot my happybob password at slashdot, but I didn't forget it here. :)
I'm a bit of a developer these days. I write code in Perl
and C. I used to write CGI stuff. I more or less
don't do that anymore. I've written a nice regular
expression API for C. It uses Philip Hazel's PCRE (Perl
Compatible Regular Expression Library) and Glib. Get
GRegex.
I've also written a C library for parsing
incompletely specified URLs into their component parts.

uses GRegex these days. If you build anything
that would benefit from easy templates, then you might

Welder it is a rather powerful template / datafile
management program. It has a rather slick plugin API, and
can be extended that way using perl or shell scripts.

SNMP. There has GOT to be a better way. Working with the
net-snmp stuff is probably going to cost me my mind. The
ASN.1 format is one of the absolutely worst I've ever seen.
Blech. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if the MIB definition
file's format was not designed to be self obfuscating.
Okay, I'm done ranting for this morning. I'm trying to make
a simple format that is human readable, and can be
translated into the horrid ASN.1 notation.
Odds are I will find this nearly impossible. :)
Wow, nearly a year.
I used to do lots of Perl and CGI work. Now, it's Perl and
kernel hacking and system programming and what not.
We release our first security product Friday. Still finding
and fixing little bugs. I'd like to point out that writing
kernel modules that talk to programs in userland can be a
real beast.
But, the challenges are fun. :)
I think the product is going to be called Cylant Watcher.
The marketing guys are still trying to figure out what to
call it. *shrug* Not my domain.
With it, we will have the first Linux kernel (2.2.13-18) on
the market that does real-time internal behavioral profiling
and measurement. We're using it for security right now, but
the same technology can be used for reliability and
survivability.
I started working at Cylant Technology about 1 month ago.
My brother Matt
talked me into it. And, I was bored at EarthLink, which is
still probably one of the better places to work.
Cylant absolutely rocks.
I'm getting to help draw up the policy for the development
side of the house. Finally getting to put into practice
some of the ideas on the growth of technical organizations
for the past 3 years.
I just made GRegex
feature complete. All that is left is a bit of cleaning on
the code, to make it acceptable to people other than myself.
