Free (as in speech) software projects:

• LambdaCan -- an Arduino Diecimila-based Lambda Calculus reducer.
• Slide40 -- slide presentation software that mimics the minimalist look of 1970's all-caps 40-column 8-bit computer displays.
• Zilog Microcontroller Hacking -- programs for Zilog Z8 Encore! and eZ80 Acclaim! boards done just for fun.
• LOMAC -- a security extension for Linux and FreeBSD kernels.
• Snowfence -- a simple iptables firewall for the Sharp Zaurus palmtop.
• Tupd -- a daemon that reports uptime statistics via HTTP.
• Pf -- a program that implements the Playfair manual cryptosystem.

Free (as in beer) software projects:

• Roguedump -- dumps rogue high score files.

For your amusement:

• A document describing how to install Debian GNU/Linux "Etch" on an IBM/Lenovo T60 laptop including how to install Xen and make use of Intel's hardware virtualization support.
• A brief HOWTO document on programming ZiLOG eZ80 Acclaim! microcontroller boards.
• A catalog of my collection of obsolete computer hardware.
• A memorial to my GNU/Linux firewall box for its first continuous year of uptime.
• A 2002 article about installing Debian GNU/Linux on Alpha workstations.
• Some pictures of the Wang Towers I took in 2004.
• An account of a visit I made with some friends to the WPI campus in January 2002, about seven years after we had been there as undergraduates.
