Who Is This Weibullguy?
Weibull - continuous distribution of a random variable proposed by Wallodi Weibull. Guy - male of the human species.
Me - Electrical Engineer undergraduate, Statistics graduate, work as a Reliability/Safety engineer at an aerospace/defense company. Previously worked as the same at a commercial nuclear plant. Current interests include repairable systems analysis, Kijima Type I and Type II models, and system optimization under imperfect repair.
I analyze failure and repair data to estimate parameters of the distribution(s) describing system and component failure times. This is often refered to as Weibull analysis (although there are many other distributions used). Hence, Weibullguy. Now you know.
In response to a post I saw on one of the mailing lists, "I don't have a clue who all the devs at CBLFS are. They all use some stage-names." Here is my abbreviated resume, none of which actually qualifies me as a software developer. Consider that the grain of salt with which to take my entries. If you stumbled across this page looking to hire a reliability engineer you can find my complete resume here.

Libnotify Examples
libnotify is useful for generating pop-up notifications. These notifications are simple to implement using shell scripts or C/C++ code. Here is a Bash example. Here is a C example. As usual, there are no warranties explicit or implied.
