Time is the fire in which we all burn ...
FYI - I've been going by my middle name for the last couple of years. Long story, and not very interesting.
Just to avoid confusion - Verne Homsher and Dave Homsher are the same person.
I'm in the slow process of moving to a new host, so things will likely be broken for some time.
Items of Interest
A few things I've put together, you may find them helpful:
- Mandolin Chords - A free one-page mandolin chord chart cheat-sheet.
- Foreign Languages - Plain-text language files I assembled several years ago.
- Build a recumbent bike for yourself ... or one for your kid!
- Linkstation Live Files - Statically linked GNU coreutils and CTorrent bittorrent client cross-compiled for the Linkstation's Arm processor. I needed a fully functional 'cp' to make hard file links for my snapshot-style backups, but the Linkstation used busybox. I also wanted to download Make:TV episodes without tying up a PC. Ctorrent is a decent command line client that I can use in a cron script to automagically run background downloads. I had a heck of a time getting them to compile, so I thought I would share the binaries. I'll put up more info with links and instructions once I get more time.
Active Sites
Here's a listing of all my sites that I keep up:
- Silpon Designs - Silpon Designs uses microencapsulation technology to scent papers such as bookmarks, greeting cards, notecards, menus, invitations, brochures and postcards. If you are interested in scented marketing and olfactory advertising or need scented paper and stationary, this is the place to check out!
- My Etsy Shop - I've been sewing up a lot of handbags lately. Buy one!
Archived Sites
These sites are older sites that I have either allowed the registration to lapse or were simply concepts.. They are archived here to preserve them:
- Homsher Homes - My original concept for our construction business.
- Homsher Building Systems - Homsher Building Systems, Ltd. - Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) We are no longer in the SIPs business. Our dealer, R-Control decided that they needn't uphold their end of the distributor agreement. We are no longer selling or recommending their products. In fact, we are a little disenchanted with SIPs in general. They seem to be quite overpriced for foam and OSB. Our experience with several SIPs companies have led us to believe that SIPs tend to be sold by timberframing companies or foam manufacturers looking for more ways to sell foam. I heartily recommend Insulated Concrete Forms, however. Our experience has been very positive. Reward Wall is the product we are familiar with.
- Digital Pool - The precursor to Open Source Software Architects. This is only the opening web page promo and logo. It never got too far, but was going to be a loose collaboration of IT professionals.
- Open Source Software Architects - I occasionally do information technology consulting as well. I specialize in free/libre software and do web application programming as well as Linux workstations and server administration. This used to be located at ossarchitects.com when I was consulting full-time.
- WanderPost.com A mail-handling business for full-time travellers. Another company beat me to the punch on this one. It was for the better.
