Roger's World

Google me The vast majority of the geeky results appear to be me, and none of the non-geek ones. And the beauty of the web is that I get to be taken out of context as well.

The obligatory resume.

LG VX4400 Frequently Asked Questions

A review of The Definitive Guide to SQLite.

Some software that is my fault that I still maintain:

APSW: Another Python SQLite Wrapper. This is tight binding to SQLite and is not compatible with DBAPI.

Some software handed off to others:

BitPim: A program for manipulating contacts, calendars, wallpapers, ringtones and the embedded filesystem on cell phones [started on LG VX4400, now supports other phones as well - see the website]

Some software that is my fault that is dormant:

UML Builder

A tool for installing common Linux distributions for use with user mode linux.

mod SKAS 3

A kernel patch that speeds up User Mode Linux considerably ported to being a module. Use at your own risk! This is now obsolete.

IMAP Spam Begone

A tool that scans your IMAP Inbox with SpamAssassin

Related Linux trivia

I have been a Linux user since just before kernel 0.12 came out. Those were the days when men were men, Linux booted off floppy disks, a 20MB partition was ample space, and networking was something other operating systems did. My contribution was a Linux version of top. I haven't touched the code since 1992 but still get credit for it! I also did some other Linux stuff best forgotten.
