I've been interested in computers since I was very young, spending time with a family
friend who built his own PC before anyone had heard of owning their own computer. In Highschool,
I graduated from terrorizing my step-mom's 286, to having my very own 386DX, and I started a small
BBS system called The Simulated Planet. After a couple years of BBS, my friends sister who was going
to PSU, and had access to a shell there, opened our minds to the unbelievable world of The Internet.
I shut down the BBS (which once I figured out what the Internet really was, was obviously obsolete)
and started getting into IRC. While on IRC, I became in need of tools,
and so I started modifying bots and writing ircII scripts. Though my shell at Agora
I learned about unix, and it wasn't long before I had my very own Linux box.
Today, Linux is my primary OS, but I support all manor of windows, Macintosh, and several
debian Linux boxes. I work on several small opensource projects, including:
Universal ircd A multi-network supported ircd branch. Activity is pretty dead on this now, since undernet started supporting smaller networks in their codebase too.
Rockbot This is a nify IRC bot (written in c) that taught me c. Its currently in a state of incompleteness.. it works but has a lot of stuff that needs fixing. A variant of this bot ran on #AfterNET for many years. It is known to get really good uptimes and provides full featured channel service (userlists, protection, etc)
Jail Bait A linux distribution for the iopener
X2 Channel Services for universal ircd
Web Lodge A php template system
Ampache Web (php) based mp3 database. For the love of music.
