Hello. Welcome to my underdeveloped homepage.
My name's Dave Cridland, a sufficiently unusual name that there are virtually no hits for "Dave Cridland" on Google that aren't me, which is useful for fueling my ego.
As of the beginning of August, 2006, I work for Isode Ltd. The work is challenging and interesting, and both draws on my prior knowledge of messaging, and also lets me learn new skills and improve others, such as SNMP and LDAP.
Some people are curious about my work with ACAP and Lemonade (or low-bandwidth email for constrained environments). There's a new Wiki and things on my Trac site, or the old pages starting here. The two major pieces of software - Infotrope Polymer and the Infotrope ACAP Server, are both available under the GPL.
I also have one wife, two children, and a significant percentage share of a cat - possibly a majority holding, although it'd difficult to say. The majority of my neighbours, at least, refer to the cat on their sofas as mine.
One of my children is in school, the other one is not yet in school. The eldest one speaks two languages, the youngest is just learning to speak one. My wife has a part-time job working for a charity.
More inane ramblings can be found on my blog, should anyone want to read them.
SmokePing and MRTG also run here, monitoring stuff that probably isn't interesting to anyone else.
