WELCOME TO THE ROCK GARDEN!



The Rock Garden was originally named after the space in the basement of my house
where friends occasionally gathered to play (usually rock, thus the name) music
together. I have since relocated, though, and it might be a few years before I
can have a proper music room again.

The new house, however, is on a property with more than a few … you guessed it …
Rocks. Some of them rather large, and plenty that will eventually be
incorporated into gardens around them. The name will still work.

There’s not much on this web page, but I do have links to documentation and
software packages I’ve written, as well as patches I’ve contributed to some of
the better known software packages out there. Most of the content found here-in
is decades old, but I hope to resume adding to it. The site redesign will
hopefully make it more likely that I’ll continue to add more current content.


IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AROUND

I intend to keep a fair number of “bookmark” style links here, mostly for my own
use, though with some luck they’ll also help others find information they’re
looking for.

I can start with some I’ve created myself, in my professional role: (note that
much of this content might seem dated)


COMPUTER SYSTEM SECURITY

Advisories, tips and other links.


SECURING PASSWORDS

Attempts to address the major concerns surrounding the use of passwords
as authentication.


SOFTWARE

Software I’ve written and contributions I’ve made to existing software
packages.


PHOTO SCRAPBOOK

photos I took while travelling across Canada in 1993 and 1994. More to
come.


RESUME

I’ve had some rather interesting experiences spanning multiple careers.
