<p class="MsoNormal">Hi my name is Matt, I would like to start learning more about what goes on behind the scenes and apply my current skills and gain some new ones, hopefully in web application development. By day I work in systems/network operations for
a FOIP company in, mainly doing new physical deployments and backend grunt work (backups, monitoring(Nagios), vulnerability scanning(NMap, Nessus), firefighting. I have a good working knowledge of BASH, Sed/Awk, Python, C/C++, SQL, MediaWiki and some Django.
I hope to put the little Django experience I have to more use and expand upon it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By night I am working on a small script/package collection for Windows admins who refuse to actually use Windows or a heavyweight GUI for that matter. My goal is a single package that will contain everything most admins need including
rdesktop, OpenConnect and various scripts for parsing common windows log files into meaningful noise. If I have to do something more than twice, I’m scripting it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My IRC nick is urlugal and I hope to contribute to the website and the wiki as my skills improve. For now I am ok with watching and learning unless someone has a specific project I can get my feet wet with. I couldn’t find anything that
looked relatively simple in the Active Tickets list and didn’t want to step on toes.<o:p></o:p></p>
