Introductions:

Prior to coming to the NRAO, I was a FreeBSD systems administrator at several local companies. I also worked for a while as an embedded Linux engineer for a company that makes ARM-based single-board computers for industrial/commercial use. I am a licensed amateur radio operator (callsign KG4NGV) and you can catch me on the local Northern Piedmont Emergency Net often. I'm also a co-organizer and presenter in the Charlottesville Unix User Group.

My personal homepage has more info about me and other geeky stuff.
My Wiki Page will have more info, too (eventually)

Go to my page of Mac stuff, or you can tour my Mac desktop!

Software:

check_apc_temp - a plugin for Nagios to monitor temperature via an APC SmartUPS PowerNet module with temp probe.
nitools - Scripts for Mac OSX that mimic the Linux useradd, groupadd, userdel and groupdel commands. These scripts are wrappers for OSX's "netinfo" system.
dstools - Since OS 10.5 dropped NetInfo, I've ported my nitools to the new opendirectory 'dscl' backend. Only dsuseradd, dsuserdel and dsgroupadd supported so far.
