Current Projects Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:16:44 -0500

Currently am working on a number of DNS specific applications, hopefully a couple I can release.

The first being an IO event handler in C, sorta like libevent but without the threading issues, also can discover interfaces for udp handling. Will be helpful for a league of users.

The second project is the next generation of an Android application for testing DNS resolution against a configurable list of resolvers. Will later evolve into being able to run predefined lists of queries and checking responses, sorta like a typical monitoring setup (read nagios) but not as automated.

  • About The Author

  • This is the definitive blog for the musings of Brian Smith. I've been a programmer / sys admin for most of my life. I don't have much to say, I work, I enjoy my family, and every once in awhile I'll dump a little something I want to keep track of here.

    Currently I am the CTO of DNS.com where we provide geolocation based authoritative DNS services for the masses. I also have been working on drafts that are submitted to the IETF to the dnsext working group.

    In the past I have been involved with organizing various user groups, including an off and on again 2600 group. Also I have been involved with the development of Seclude, an open source secure instant messaging platform as well as Sliker, a project that later developed into plasma for the KDE desktop environment.

    Additionally I am an avid home brewer making my own beer. Everything else should be below or to the left.
