ME
This page is just a little bookmark page for me, there is nothing interesting here for anyone but me.
If you are looking for something useful or interesting go back somewhere else.
I have two main interests, physics and computer networks. I am a physicist by training. I graduated from the Brigham Young University physics department.
I am currently working as a research scientist in network security at HRL Labs in Malibu California. I was previously employed by Genuity Inc. (Known previously as BBN and GTE Internetworking).
I think that I will return to school before too long and resume my study of physics, although I do not think I will ever relinquish my networking interests. If you care, here is my resume.
Here are some pictures of my family.

Performance of Open Source Software:

Most of this information seems to be anti-microsoft. They seem to epitomize for most the opposite of Open Source/Open Standards.

Read this for information about NT vs. UNIX from an informed source. This is a very good article.

Another extreemly well written article about Solaris vs NT from The Standish Group. Very professional and methodical presentation.

InfoWorld writer has this to say about the origins of Windows and UNIX.
