Some small projects This page highlights a few of my personal projects both past and present C Asynch Library: An interrupt driven comm library for MS-DOS and Borland C. This package was written to demonstrate to a friend that it was possible to do interrupt driven device control without using assembly language. PMT/86:A lightweight threads library for MS-DOS and Borland C. This package was written while I was being courted for a BIOS engineering postition with Phoenix Software in Costa Mesa, Ca. I wanted to demonstrate an ability to interface lower functions of the computer to high level application code. MTAC:MySQL Table Abstraction Class. MTAC is a very small PHP 5 Class to inerface to MySQL databases. Support for other databases should not be difficult to add. Imbalance:A lightweight HTTP load balancer for Apache and PHP. A project I am working on requires a load-balancer. My requirements for such a system is that the load balance distribute load evenly, based on a weighted cost system, traffic to different servers. The load balancer should redirect to a different server the base URL for my project. The server redirected to maintains session state and data on that server for the rest of the session. Secwatch: A real-time log analysis program for UNIX Systems to detected unwatend activity from remote hosts and ban those IPs by manipulating firewall software.
