bbraun

I’m currently a programmer for Apple, Inc. working on Mac OS X Server.

Outside of work, I have a couple computer related projects I work on:

● Personal svn repo - Various projects I work on that are not full blown "products" of their own. Access via: svn co svn://svn.synack.net/bbraun

● xar - I'm the primary author of xar, an archive format and an archiver that is designed to handle the requirements of modern file archival.

● xinetd - I currently maintain xinetd, which ships standard with RedHat Linux and with MacOS X.

Those are the highlights. Of course I work on a number of smaller, less useful things for kicks. I might add some of them here in the future, if I quit tinkering with them and breaking them.
