Projects

• Pieces of Flair, Wade Roberts's excellent Facebook app. We scaled it to 250K daily users, ranking it in Facebook's top 10 apps by popularity. Thank-you to a great free software stack: Debian GNU/Linux, nginx, Apache httpd, PHP, MySQL, & varnish. It all runs at SoftLayer, the best hosting money can buy. Pieces of Flair was acquired by RockYou summer of 2008.
• bmi.com, clustered app servers, redundant databases, 500K pageviews daily.
• ledger, John Wiegley's accounting software without which I could not keep my finances in order. I provide user support and some software contributions.
• Gmane, Lars Magne Ingegrigtsen's public mailing list <--> NNTP gateway. I co-administer with a team of people around the world.
• clot, an IRC client written in the Clojure programming language.
