    <p>Some fun things I did over the years:<br><br></p> <ul> <li>A multiuser/multitasking DOS-compatible OS... which ran on PC-XTs!<br></li> <li>A distributed inventory/orders system for a computer store chain. Online updates of MDB database content AND structure. In 1997.<br></li> <li>Access control system for an ISP. Kinda Rube Goldberg-ish. Lots of scripts that manipulate iptables to turn users to the login page, dhcpd to give thep IPs, cbq to assign them bandwidth etc.<br></li> <li>A security system for MS-DOS, implementing somewhat-Unix-style accounts and permissions.<br></li> <li>Clustering Asterisk PBXs for call centers.<br></li> <li>Autodialers with detection of human / answering machine / busy / bad number for (I'm going to Hell for this) active telemarketing. Please forgive me.<br></li> <li>A driver to integrate Skype into Asterisk. Even more Rube Goldberg-ish than the ISP login thing.<br></li> <li>Energy consumption billing through a proprietary board that "ticked" a bit in a parallel interface whenever X watts-hours had gone through path Y.<br></li> <li>Linux system-restore CDs.<br></li> <li>Satellite image acquiring through yet another proprietary expansion board, for Brazil's National Space Research Institute.<br></li> <li>REST services with Django.<br></li> <li>Remote system audits in C# using the OVAL language.<br></li> <li>For the retrocomputing fans out there: <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/cachars" rel="nofollow">https://sourceforge.net/projects/cachars</a><br></li> <li>Lots more I sure forget about now.<br><br></li> </ul> <p>Oh, and I just learned CUDA and Greenplum. They're neat. But I didn't get to use either in any project so far. :-/<br><br></p> <p>Things I like for fun:<br> - Formula One and Indy racing. (You get brownie points if you guess what race my avatar is from.)<br> - Reading in general, mostly nonfiction.<br> - Retrocomputing and retrogaming.<br> - Traveling, preferably overseas.<br> - Sci-fi in general, and Star Trek in particular.</p>
