eliyahu.org / homeWhat is this place?Back in 1997 I secured this domain so that I would have a personal email account that matched my name. It seemed an obvious idea, especially as the great domain 'rush' was taking place with countless 'investors' seizing on any and all domain names they thought they could shift for a quick buck. eliyahu.org eventually became my personal network of various Power Macintosh and UNIX workstations. At its heights the machines included ezra, rambam, rashi, sforno, and ramban, all named for medieval meforshim. As a student at Duke these things were hauled from dorms to apartments, connected via Ethernet to Duke's academic backbone via an old SynOptics 2810 Concentrator. The 81.6GB of storage across machines was fairly impressive at the time. Sadly the Power Macintosh machines of old now share pride of place on shelves in my basement, and the Sun SPARCstation is probably in a landfill in Tennessee somewhere; so today eliyahu.org simply serves as a small repository on a third-party hosted system with various things for which people have occasionally asked. Some things stored here are shared only on request, and some are listed below. The Duke days are long gone. Instead during the day I help to design IBM Z mainframe systems, while in the evening I tinker with so-called 'next generation' Amiga computers. I even get to spend time with my beautiful family now and then. It isn't a glamorous life, but it is a rewarding one.
