About
Welcome to my development blog. This is the part of the web where I develop new ideas and test them out. I also use this blog to help share information on how to do things within linux and Ubuntu, hopefully someone will find the information useful.
I’m a big believer in sharing information that’s why I openly allow reuse of any of these articles under the creative commons license. I strongly encourage you to check out their website and use it to share share your knowledge also. Please feel free to comment on the blog and if you have any suggestions on how to do something different or better I’d love to hear from you.
I mainly script in Perl , Bash, PHP and Python, but who knows there’s likely to be something else cool to play with soon! You’ll find the projects I share under the projects menu at the top. The main attractions at the moment are the m0n0wall backup utility, apache-geo-maps, which is a perl script that parses an apache log file and plots the unique resolvable hits(IP’s) onto google maps! I also have a couple of WordPress plugins available, one of which is wp-rdfa which brings the semantic web to your WordPress blog. All the projects can be found on my Projects Page.
As for my background, I’ve been a Unix Systems Admin for 8 years+ and currently hold the role of Project Engineer at ioko.com where my work is mainly focused around large scale web application delivery and video on demand. If you wish to find out more please check out my linkedin profile or follow me on twitter.
