This pages provides personal information and some links to pages
I've made in the past.
Personal Information
My name is Otto Moerbeek, I live in Heemstede, the Netherlands together with
my wife Marie-José and daughters Vera and Inez.
I work as software engineer with
Efficiency-Online.
In case you are are
interested in my professional background, you can read
my resume here.
OpenBSD
In my spare time, I participate in the development op
OpenBSD, a FREE,
multi-platform 4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system,
which emphasizes portability, standardization, correctness,
proactive security and integrated cryptography.
My contributions to OpenBSD include major work on utilities like
patch(1) and diff(1), new versions of dc(1) and bc(1), privilege
separated tcpdump(8), work on ntpd(8) and kernel time code, large
partition and ffs2 support, pcc, lots of bug fixes in almost
every area, code auditing and more.
If you think my work as an OpenBSD developer is nice and you are
wondering how you can encourage me to continue working on OpenBSD,
check the Tip Jar page on how to make a donation.
Alternatively, you might consider sending me items from my
Amazon wishlist.

Running Apple's Backup Without a .Mac Account
These pages describe a nice trick I found out.
Look here.
If you are interested, you can read the discussion about these pages on
Slashdot.

JavaOne 2002
March 27, 2002 I did present a Birds-of-a-Feather
session at the JavaOne conference in San Fransisco.
In this session, I talked about some security issues of agent platforms
and how to solve them using Java™.
The abstract of my session is
here.
A PDF file containing the
presentation slides is also available.
A tar archive containing the complete source code of the examples can be found
here. You
can also browse the source code.

Looking for Otto's LinuxPPC Goodies?
They are here. Please beware, a lot of this
information is a bit out of date. These pages also contain a
description of a project I
did to add support of a KeySpan PCI serial card to Linux(PPC).
The patches I made
are now part of the standard Linux serial driver serial.c.
This site is served from a machine in the wall closet running
OpenBSD as its operating system
and Apache as its http server.
