Delimiter Projects

Here are some of the projects I'm working on and technologies I'm in the process of using, learning or wanting to learn.

Active/OngoingProjects

These are projects I haven't really started yet, except maybe for some planning & research.

Audio intrepeter - issue unix cli and window operations via voice using a headset. See gnome-voice-control project and Julius

Security research - I watch reports from SANS, Secunia and SecurityFocus for vulnerabilities that affect FreeBSD ports, and submit the vuxml updates. Corresponding to this, I track the OVAL list and continue to seek ways to improve the security stance of FreeBSD. Update: Ubuntu-security has a nice project going called cve-tracker which is very similar to what I'm trying to accomplish... a CVE integration with portaudit or even base.
Running Free Geek Seattle startup. This is a great organization focused on recycling/refurbishing computer gear and providing Linux training to underprivileged youths and seniors.
FreeBSD CVE - retrieve/translate CVE entries for portaudit
iSCSI particularly for storage of virtual machine disks
