Jeremy Mates (thrig) practices the art of gainful computer entropy reduction at Amazon.com, and resides in Seattle. This site contains extensive computer related documentation (for Unix, Perl, CFEngine, and more), and various blogged ruminations.
About this Site
The squid proxy, Apache, mod_perl, and XML::ApplyXSLT are used to render most of the pages. RBW Technologies hosts sial.org. The site runs on hardware purchased from Silicon Mechanics.
The custom XML dialect (eolas) suits the documentation I write. A variety of custom Perl scripts help create the XML (such as generating shell code examples from pasted input, or creating image tags), though BBEdit handles most of the XML editing. Diagrams are created using OmniGraffle Pro.
