Software

Github

Here's my github page.

Archiveopteryx

Arnt Gulbrandsen and I wrote Archiveopteryx, an open-source mail archive server. (The company we founded to develop it, Oryx Mail Systems GmbH, no longer exists, but we still maintain the software in our spare time.)

Snippets

Snippets is a Jabber bot that is meant to help teams of developers communicate with each other. It periodically asks each team member what they are working on, and shows the answers on a simple web interface.

Inspector34

Inspector34 is a transparent web proxy that records requests and responses for later playback and comparison. Useful for regression testing.

Loathsxome

Loathsxome is a minimalist and opinionated weblog program inspired by Blosxom.

Postgres

I have contributed a variety of patches to Postgres over the years, including PQprepare() in libpq, \ef in psql, a number of PL/Perl improvements (RETURN NEXT, spi_query/spi_fetchrow, and bugfixes), and others.

I also wrote a complete Postgres protocol dissector for Ethereal (now Wireshark).

Other programs

• heaping pings many hosts every few seconds, for monitoring. (source)
• gmail-mirror reliably downloads mail from GMail using IMAP. (source)
• pemtrans converts an OpenSSL RSA key to a cryptlib keyset. (source)
• A small managesieve client to talk to the server in Archiveopteryx.
• ts helps me to keep track of where I spend my time.
• A CGI program to display my photographs
• mod_leech enforces per-user download and login quotas for Apache.
• jail is an ancient program I wrote to log ICMP and TCP packets.

Here's a list of CPAN modules I wrote or maintain.

(There were many things on my old web site that are not here. Let me know if you're missing something.)
