Current Projects
LIVEIMAGE
My
Office
Window
I've written a tool that updates a live printer status page. I use a Tk/Tcl tool called Scotty which, when combined with MIBs from a great MIB archive, allows me to get lots of cool information from SNMP-aware devices.
The Funny Pages A collection of funny tidbits that I have accumulated over the years. The collection is growing. It is available from one of my favorite jumping-off points:Yahoo.

I maintain the web page for the Mill Creek Homeowners Association

I am affiliated with a cool web service calledCoupon Café. It allows you to get coupons for many different Charlottesville businesses.

I also wrote their cool game: Name That Theme Song

I like WNRN 91.9 FM
Two of my favorite pubs in Charlottesville are The Monticello Brewing Companyand Court Square Tavern.

 Being a geek, I have a favorite operating system. FreeBSD rules.
