I find this concept fascinating and plan to investigate further down this road.

Erlang… Starting to come together…
Monday, March 30th, 2009
I’m finally starting to “get” erlang… just a little bit… I’ve managed to make several TCP daemons… an echo server, a reverse echo server, and a server which spits out an md5 values of the input given. Yea… I know… Lame… but its one hump I’m finally over…
Debian Lenny, Avahi, AFP… Linux Fileserver for OSX Clients
Thursday, February 12th, 2009
If you’re like me you have an OSX computer or 3 at home, and a debian file server. If you’re like me you hate samba/nfs on principle and want your debian server to show up in finder. If you’re like me you arent using debian 3 which is what most of the walkthroughs seem to [...]
a dumbed down version of wpdb for sqlite
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008
I’ve been working, gradually, on a project using an sqlite3 database (for its convenience) and found myself missing the clean elegance of wpdb… so I implemented it. It was actually really easy to do, and I figured I would throw it up here for anyone else wishing to use it. The functionality that I build [...]

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

building sed for osx
Thursday, April 24th, 2008
I work in linux a lot… not bsd. So the OSX (bsd style) implementation of sed really throws me for a loop when I go text-file-spelunking, whats worse is that my scripts using sed aren’t portable between the two OSs. A quick googling this morning landed me here: http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?OctaveForMac which gives perfectly good instructions on [...]
Daemonize Anything
Thursday, April 10th, 2008
I hacked together this little C program from this other little c program. Basically acts as an execution wrapper that lets you fork() and detach and run a command in the background with a pidfile and log file for program output. So far I havent had any problems with it… but then I’m not a [...]
Well I’m Back
Monday, January 14th, 2008
After a week (plus 2 days) vacation I’m back in thw swing of things… At least until the 20th when I take off to meet up with the gang once more. I’ll be glad when all this traveling is done… I’m something of a simple homebody and this shuffling from one place to another makes [...]
