Linux and BSD Programming Guide
A guide to the concepts a Linux or BSD programmer should be familiar with.

Novell and Linux
Notes on UNIX and Novell and command equivalents

Building KDE2 RC2 on Mandrake
Notes I took as I was building KDE2 RC2 on my Mandrake 7.1 system at home

MkLinux notes
Notes I took while installing MkLinux on a PowerMac 6100/60.

LaserWriter IIf notes
My notes about the Apple LaserWriter IIf and how to network it to a LAN.

HTML menu demo
A demo I did to show Michael Tran how to create dynamic menus in web pages.

Berkeley socket notes
My notes about how to use the Berkeley sockets API for accessing network resources from C in a platform-independant manner.

Fry's Electronics notes
Sex, drugs, and board-level components: random anecdotes about being a consultant for the strangest retail firm you'll ever do business with.

ltphone notes
Notes taken during the development of ltphone, a project to make the CTI hardware interface market blow up. Dialogic is going to be so pissed once this thing is finished...

C++ notes
Here's the beginning of my notes from my C++ class; maybe some day I'll get around to cleaning up the rest of the notes and adding them in.

Toshiba Satellite 3005 notes
Here's some notes I took while setting up my new laptop, a Toshiba 3005-S303.

OpenTelco
OpenTelco is a project I'm doing in the SFBA to interconnect a bunch of businesses via VoIP. You should check it out!

How to change the process title on Linux
How to do setproctitle() and setprogname() on Linux, which doesn't have either. But it should -- read the code for why.

ppp-over-ssh VPN notes
Don't have the time to implement ipsec? PPTP got you down? "ALL YOUR CRYPTO ACCELERATORS ARE BELONG TO US"? For those times when you've just been flown out to a client's site, don't know what city you're in, have 3 hours to get a megabuck server back up, you have to retrieve your system installation checklist from your server and all you have is a 14.4kbps packet radio that you know is being sniffed, you need more portable connectivity than PPTP. You need to get a secure session up faster than ipsec. You need the power of GHETTO VPN!

Adobe Acrobat Reader and Linux
I had to go through a series of very non-intuitive steps to get Acrobat Reader to run on my Linux boxen because Debian yanked their acroread package from woody. The installation instructions in my notes will hopefully save some of you a bit of time when you have to deal with it.

The Red Hat Man Costume
Yeah, I'm the guy who always wears the red hat and suit to DefCon and BayCon. Here's why.

Why not Open Drivers?
A rant about why we don't have more open drivers and a possible conspiracy alert.
