History: <\/span> <\/strong>
\nNYTI started in 1993 as a OS\/2 based BBS. It stands for New York Telephone I. \t\tThen I branched out into other things, gave up on OS\/2, ported the BBS to Linux \t\tand made this web page.<\/p>\n

Now it’s a wordpress blog. 9\/26\/08
\n The Volleyball Game: <\/span> <\/strong>
\nI try to organize a volleyball game every monday and wednesday in Westchester, New York. \t\t\t Click here<\/strong><\/a> to read about it.<\/p>\n

My BBS: <\/span> <\/strong>
\nYou can \t\t\t telnet <\/strong> to \t\t deadpelican.com<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong> to take part in our little community BBS. Based on the old OS\/2 NYTI, \t\tit lacks some of the cooler features like maze walking, but you can post \t\tmessages, and talk to others.<\/p>\n

Web services: <\/span> <\/strong>
\nHit Recom – \t\t \/hitlist.html<\/a> <\/strong>
\nOne of my favorites, stands for Hit Recommendations. The idea is to introduce people to music they would not \t\thave otherwise ever heard of. \t\tFeel free to add your all time favorite songs by bands nobody’s likely heard \t\tof. Posting Billboard top 40 \t\tis not the point here, because everybody knows about that. This is for \t\tintroducing people to music that \t\tthey’re never likely to hear on the radio.<\/p>\n

Software: <\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

console <\/strong>
\nconsole is this cute little program I wrote that offers up a citadel bbs like \t\tinterface that you telnet to, to run scripts or other commands. \t\tIt’s an easy way to shoot off scripts with just a few keystrokes. \t\tYou can download the tar with the source code and \t\tmore detailed information here.<\/a><\/p>\n

POP 4 <\/strong>
\nPOP 4 is an extention to the POP 3 mail protocol. \t\tInformation about it can be found here.<\/a> or if that doesn’t work, here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tragic <\/strong>
\nTragic is a program that was my fairly early on attempt at a p2p system. What \t\tit did to networks \t\twas Tragic, thus the name. You’ll notice Gnutella had similar problems when it \t\tfirst came out. \t\tYou can chat, search and trade files, and generally be a cool part of one of \t\tthe first home grown \t\tp2p networks.<\/p>\n

Harm <\/strong>
\nHarm is a program I wrote to get around my company’s firewall. When I need to \t\twork from home \t\tand don’t want to dial into the corporate RAS, I use Harm. Since you can get \t\tout through the firewall \t\tbut not in, all harm does is try making connections to my machine at home (via \t\ta dynamic DNS name) \t\tand when I want to connect, I just run the listener on my home machine, it \t\tconnects and makes me \t\ta telnet session. If you have such a need an the available setup I recommend \t\tHarm. It is not a hacking tool. \t\tIt is useless unless you have access to machines on both sides of the firewall. \t\tIt’s just a program for \t\tmaking life more convienent.<\/p>\n

Links Klip <\/strong>
\nI like this thing, it’s damn cute. So I wrote a klip for a webpage of mine. \t\tClick here<\/strong><\/a> to download it.<\/p>\n

Net Lightning <\/strong>
\nThis is a server program that allows scripting access to control x-10 devices \t\tor execute scripts based on x-10 commands. \t\tClick here<\/strong><\/a> to download it.<\/p>\n

NYTS<\/strong>
\nNYTS stands for the New York Telescheduler. Way back when I ran my BBS on OS\/2, I needed a schduler to fire off programs to run, and the scheduler that came with OS\/2 sucked, so I wrote my own. I only list it here, because I’ve gotten more good reviews about this program than anything else I’ve ever done. It’s small, and simple and does the job. If you still run OS\/2. More power to you.<\/p>\n

My Music:<\/span><\/strong>
\nI’m a lousy musician, but that doesn’t stop me. If you want to listen to some of my music, I have most of it stored here:
\nhttp:\/\/cownow.com\/~nixo\/<\/a><\/strong>
\nSome keyboard stuff, some metal, some solo piano. If you like it, vote for it on the Hit List.<\/p>\n

My Diatribes:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Why J2EE sucks<\/a><\/p>\n

How the brain works.<\/a><\/p>\n

My one liners of wisdom.<\/a><\/p>\n

My rants. It’s like a one way blog. Where I write and you don’t respond.<\/a><\/p>\n

My Ideas:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I invented the world bank by accident.<\/a><\/p>\n

I came up with a novel rotary engine, that unlike the Wenkel engine, is actually a rotary engine.<\/a>
\nThe Greatest Idea I’ve Ever had:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

An idea for The Internet Portal (Sub-Ether).<\/a><\/p>\n

Miscellany:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And Then There Were None.<\/a><\/p>\n

File archive: <\/span><\/strong>
\nhttp:\/\/users.bestweb.net\/~fordii\/<\/a> <\/strong>
\nSince I pay them every month, might as well make use of their fast connection. Anything you can find on my ftp site, you can find on here, and it’s faster.<\/p>\n

And last but not least…
\nMy favoritism towards the number seven. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
