This page is pretty much a placeholder for my various projects: Blog, Fink, Darwin Cross-Compiler, KDE on Darwin, Presentations, Photo Gallery, OpenNMS, Alloy, and Other Miscellaneous Stuff.

Most of the interesting news on this site is pretty much on my blog, nowadays. Most likely if this is your first time to my site, that is where you want to go.
I contribute to the Fink project as a packager and core maintainer. Fink's goal is to port and package Open Source and other UNIX software to Darwin and Mac OS X, using a nice combination of source-based distribution, RPM-like straightforward package definitions, and Debian's dpkg and apt tools for binary distribution. I maintain a number of packages on Fink including PostgreSQL, Qt, Squid, and KDE.
I've put up a set of RPMs for a distcc cross-compiler to allow you to set up linux-based distcc nodes for Mac OS X.
The biggest project I have going right now is the primary maintainer of KDE on Darwin and Mac OS X. KDE 3.x is pretty stable on Mac OS X now, and work is ongoing to get patches merged back into KDE CVS. A lot of the work going on now is to get KDE running under Qt/Mac (as opposed to Qt/X11).
I'm currently maintaining the Fink packages for KDE, as well as doing work on the native KDE port when I can find the time.
I've been asked to speak on a couple of topics in the area. The first was at the Lulu Tech Circus on the subject of Mac OS X and Open Source software. The second was a general talk on KDE for TriLUG, our local Linux Users Group. In addition, I gave a "state of Fink" presentation at PackMUG, the NC State Macintosh users group. These presentations are available online:
My photo gallery contains pretty much everything I've taken since getting a digital camera (and a few things I haven't).
I'm also a core contributor to OpenNMS, an open-source enterprise-level network management package written in Java. It was originally developed by Oculan, and has now been given to the community. A friend and OpenNMS booster, Tarus Balog, has stepped up to the plate to keep development moving, and there's been a lot of community support popping up to make things happen. Tarus's network management group, Sortova Consulting Group took the reins and is now managing most of OpenNMS's resources, and we've put the CVS up on SourceForge to make it easier for people to contribute. It's definitely worth checking out, it will easily beat HP's Network Node Manager on most network management tasks, and it's Free! (As Tarus would say, I've been drinking the Kool-Aid. =)
I also have archived on this site my music, under the name "Alloy". Alloy was originally myself, as well as a friend (who is also known as Ellipse or Pwax, or even better known as Central, published on the Astralworks Unknownwerks compilation). Since he is going under the name Central, I figured I'll keep the name Alloy. (Alloy later became the name of a web design company I ran with my friend MIke 'jmbug' Buggar. No, it's not pronounced 'booger', and yes, the 'I' is capitalized on purpose.)
I got runner up in the New Order "Crystal" remix competition for one of my remixes (1, 2). I also won the 1997 loopz Orbital remix competition for my remix of Adnans.
I wrote an IRSSI script for logging URLs to del.icio.us. I've tried sending the updated version numerious times to scripts.irssi.org, but it appears whomever is supposed to be updating it isn't responding, so you can get a much-improved version here.
I am currently not looking for employment. However, if you're interested, my resume is online.
Turns out I got 15 minutes of fame by being referenced, in a roundabout way, in the Halloween Documents. Whacky.
