Take 2
In February 2002 I have left my job as Project manager/Software architect/code monkey at XOR Technologies. In this position I have done most of things related to SNMP. I have designed MIBs, developed SNMP agents, developed proxies to SNMP agent, developed Element Management Systems, and integrated software with higher hierarchy management platform like HPOV NNM.
Back then, the SNMP world consisted of tools which were not friendly to developers and did not support the process by which SNMP software (agent and management) software is developed. I thought that I know better, that I have Ideas which may simplify and reduce the cost of SNMP software development. So instead of going hunting for a new job, I started to develop software, with a hope to sell it via the internet.
In 2005 I wasn’t shocked to discover that the time I was willing to leave on savings has run out, and the commercial result were very poor, and took a normal day job. Having a day job and not seeing any profit from the software I developed, caused me to neglect it, and it didn’t help that the spam in the PHPBB forums I had, killed their usefulness.
But now I am once again out of a day job, and until I will find a new one, I have decided to put some effort in reorganizing my software in hope that someone will find it useful (and maybe I will be able to make some money of it ;)).
Hopefully, the wordpress CMS/blogging platform used here, is much more suitable to the kind of low traffic discussions I hope to have here.
