Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but rather when there is nothing left to take away.
Still, it is an error to argue in front of your data. You find yourself insensibly twisting them round to fit your theories.

Live your whole life such that you can look every damn man in the face and tell him to go to hell

I am currently an architect in the Open System Services development
group
within the NonStop Enterprise Division of HP.
I became interested in Internet Security when I established a home office in 1999 and had DSL service installed in our home. I investigated ipchains and developed the scripts which are now collectively known as Seattle Firewall. Expanding on what I learned from Seattle Firewall, I then designed and wrote Shorewall.
I telework from our home in Shoreline, Washington where I live with my wife Tarry.
