ex machina


jtunnel demonstrates an interesting way to extend the capabilities of jabber. i like the unapologetic reasoning for developing jtunnel - to play chess, of course:
" jtunnel is a program designed to "tunnel" a standard input/output stream over Jabber. It does this by intercepting data that appears on standard input and output streams from a program, and sends them as Jabber packets instead. Another jtunnel instance somewhere else picks these messages and places them back onto standard input / output."

"jtunnel comes into its own when used with another program that communicates via standard IO. The original reason I wrote the program was as an exercise to see if I could play GNU Chess over Jabber."

"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
