Welcome to PointyHair.com

If you have read Dilbert cartoon, you know what the name is about.

Management: I believe in open, transparent, predictable engineering management... so I try to write my thoughts for everyone to use, and to make the Silicon valley software engineering companies a better place.
Code: I get so much from the open source community, and I donate my code and implementations back

Philosophy

Software Engineering best practices, links, favorite stories, Code Reviews
Technical Roles what does a good CTO or a VP Engineering do?
Solar Panels good, bad or evil — it's not all it's cracked up to be, we have photovoltaic solar panels
Operating Systems just some commentary and observations; what works, what doesn't (robust, functional)
Home Office Implementation notes on combining a 24hr/day hobby with a family life (boundaries, quiet, integrated, kids, work from home, telecommute)

Recipes, tips, tricks, blogs, source code, scripts

Projects, open source — let's start with lookupd
DNS for email (mx, spf), for VoIP (naptr, srv, iax2), and so on
RoadWarrior Dell Precision M4300 ships with Redhat Linux! (updated 2/2008)
CellPhone Integrating a T-Mobile MDA phone/PDA into my life
HomeAutomation how to automate your house, and Otala.Net the system that runs it all
VoIP Success Story VoIP (Voice over IP) phone system for home use using Asterisk and MySQL database with both softphones and hardphones
Linux explained for Windows users
Home Networking the quest for bandwidth and reliability at reasonable price — pick any two, or risk your sanity
ToolLinks for IP, DNS, Blacklists, speed test, etc
Network Security for small scale — home, small/medium business
File galleries containing code snippets I've used in Network Security and HomeAutomation projects
MySQL database tips, tricks

This site is Solar Powered, and Wireless!

The house has solar panels and it produces more power than my datacenter ever uses — I could cut the wires...
The best connection I have found is a wireless link to the closest mountain with a line-of-sight...
Let's see... Now that electricity and broadband are out of the way... what about water and gas?
