My Work

Programming

C++

• Firewall Log Analyzer - Reads in CheckPoint FW-1 firewall log files and produces files with percentage of time spent on each action, a list of all unique IP pairs processed, all encryption failures, etc. This program was published in the August issue of SysAdmin Mag (Note on author name discrepancy).      Source Code | OpenBSD-compiled binary

Perl

• Religious Trivia Quiz - Converted a CSV database to MySQL and then put it on the web in the form of a quiz. Source Code | Live Quiz
• Thumbnail Page Generator - Reads the names of all pictures in a directory, then generates two sets of HTML pages: one for browsing thumbnails, and one for copyright protection (there is a page per image, with JavaScript to prevent right-clicking). Source Code | Example (My Wedding)
• HostsCache Log Report - Reads the logfile from Pytecache, the program I ran as an entry point into the Gnutella network, and reports on its efficiency. Source Code | Get current stats
• Random Fortunes - I took UNIX's Fortune program and made it web-accessible. Source Code | Test it out!

Java

• Gnutonic - I'm creating an implementation of a UDP/IP Gnutella-ish client, loosely based on the Genny program by Tom Goulet. You can see my planning document or the files themselves (note: gennyProtocol.java is the only one with significant work so far).

Technical Writing

• NetBSD/Dreamcast port -- I re-wrote the FAQ and HOWTO for running NetBSD on a Sega Dreamcast.
• Folding@Home Project -- I figured out how to get Stanford University's Folding@Home distributed computing project to run under OpenBSD, and subsequently had an entry placed in their official FAQ.

Web Design/Administration

• www.dcpages.com - I converted the Perl code which generates this sites, so that instead of using a flat-file text database, it uses MySQL.
• www.wtso.usda.gov (Intranet; not available here) - Department news, account management forms, managerial reports
  
  • Created & maintained JavaScript and ASP code for form validation & processing
  • Ensured complaince with Section 508 of Americans With Disabilities Act
  • Proofed and posted new content as available
  • Reorganized server-side directory structure for greater usability & stability
• www.royalgenealogy.com - Genealogical information on the royal houses of Europe
  • Created 400+ page site from proprietary database, using web publishing utility
  • Maintained site via direct HTML manipulation; regularly added pages with utility
  • Recently transferred hosting to my personal server
