Systhread Credits
This is a very incomplete list of credits regarding software, tools,
and people who have helped systhread and it's previous incarnations.
Media Outlets
Three media spots in particular have always showscased most (not all) of the
material here:
- LXer.com and its predecessor
LinuxToday (before LT was bought by Internet.com).
- Rootprompt.org used to
feed off of my site directly - not anymore for some reason.
- Slashdot twice but never the
main page - so not
technically
slashdotted.
People
In no particular order -
people who have helped in one way or another:
- Family
- For their unending patience with me and my
late night sessions.
- Gabor Z. Papp
- My best
net friend
, Gabor and I have been working on BSD, Linux
and UNIX systems together since - well I don't remember. Gabor runs his own
consulting shop out of Budapest, Hungary and he is the best in town.
- Tim R. Malis
- Tim is the oldest friend I still keep in touch with almost daily.
- Brett Lymn
- He encouraged me, taught me and at times - drove me to hack the
kernel. I owe, quite literally all I know regarding BSD kernels (and
a smack of Linux too) to Brett.
- Christos Zoulas
- Who just plain taught me, in general. How to fix: utils, kernel bugs,
libraries, scripts, shells... well you get the idea.
- Steve Dickinson
- Superb perl hacker and *NIX addict, Steve and I worked together and
somehow became great friends. We still work together from time to time
as well as swill beer. Steve also created the neat little favico
decorating your favico supporting web browser.
- Tuna
- aka Gleicon da Silveira Moraes, a great guy and one of the fastest
thinking C hackers I know. Have a C question? Ask Tuna.
- Hubert Feyrer
- The man, the myth, the legend. Another all hats hacker, Hubert
was the one who invited me to join the NetBSD Foundation and
told me to continue to do my own things (such as systhread).
- Jack Jennings
- An old navy pal, Jack has contributed content to this site and
helped steer the general direction in the early days.
- Dave Whitinger and friends
- Dave, Paul Ferris and Marty Pitts started LinuxToday, a good site in the
late 90s and then faded away . . . only to resurface. In any case, I owe Dave and Paul because LinuxToday aired my work, which got me a lot of paid gigs.
- Terry Sullivan
- The authorative web designer. I don't care what anyone else says.
- Carsten Haitzler
-
A C guru, Carsten taught me that there is more to life
than system programming.
- Jeff Rowan
- Jeff Rowan was my UNIX mentor. He also wrote an article for this site that
as of this writing, I am still trying to retrieve.
Software
The list of software ... oi. Well, at least where systhread is concerned:
- nvi and vim. Best two editors, ever ... nuff said.
- apache (of course)
- MySQL
- PHP
- FreeBSD, Linux kernel and NetBSD.
- ispell . . .
- the GiMP
- scrot for those great screenshots
- e17 Libs for thumbnailing.
Believe it or not, thats it. That is all I use to run this site (well
so far).
Other Software
Of course, I use a multitude of other software for coding and playing.
- gcc collection
- xmms
- xine
- totem
- irssi
- gaim
- mplayer
- bash, csh and sh-posix
- Perl
- The SDL Collection.
- Anything at Linux Games
I can get to run.
