Greetings
My name is Mack Pexton and I use this site as a clearing house for the systems, programs, and tools I have written. Mostly its just a collection of current and past projects so I can track and search them for ideas, patterns, problems, and my solutions. Feel free to peruse programs offered on my Resources page and my Portfolio. Everything identified as mine is free and licensed under GPL or MIT open source licenses.
I am a sysadmin and programmer. I have been around for a while and have had a wide range of experiences.
My professional interests are primarily web based information systems and software tools. I have:
- designed and installed networks,
- installed servers and their software,
- maintained those networks and servers over many years and through many upgrades,
- programmed and maintained databases systems,
- programmed entire web sites, (I've actually enjoyed working with graphic designers)
- battled hackers and protected systems from their nefarious exploits,
- and I have programmed many system tools to monitor computer and software systems and to automate their maintenance.
I have worked with most computers and I prefer Unix/Linux systems and Open Source Software where ever appropriate.
