Looks like I forgot to mention that earlier this month I gave a presentation on Django and high availability and distributed web applications at Codepalousa. Went well, with some great participation from the audience. The only negative I came away with was that it was a very Microsoft centric technology event. Not much room for FOSS. Luckily I was able to change that a little bit :)
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.
