I am one of the authors of O'Reilly's Building
Internet Firewalls, with Brent
Chapman and Simon Cooper. I'm also
a founding board member of the system administration organizations BayLISA,
SAGE, and SAGE-AU. My specialties are internet security, large-scale system
administration, writing, and management. For further information on my
career and writings, see my resume.
By popular demand, you can also get the horrible
code associated with my
most recent LISA paper about torture testing backup and archive programs,
although I strongly recommend you don't. You'd find it more satisfying and
relevant to write your own, and you probably would write it more elegantly,
too.
I also do a number of art related things, including
digital
photography, 3-dimensional work with glass
beads, some eccentric uses of
PostScript, obsessive uses of gel pens, and painting.
I also tell stories. Here's the story of my
run-in with a river in France. And the trip to
Milan on midsummer's day that involved a blizzard. Why
I dislike Paris in the springtime;
how to play conversational handball.
