Results of a Google code search
According to Google Code Search, my code or ideas (or documentation or organization or answers to FAQs) have been incorporated into the following tools and software:
traceroute, an Internet debugging tool (1989)
gnus.el, a Usenet news reader, part of GNU Emacs (1990)
prospero, a web file system (1992)
alex, a web file system (1992)
ange-ftp.el, an FTP client, part of GNU Emacs (1992)
gn, a Gopher server (1993)
pine, a Unix mail user agent (1993)
mh and nmh, a Unix mail user agent (1996)
netics, an extensible network statistics collector (2002)
Notably, Google Code Search is not finding some more recent work, so I need to push a few more packages into better code repositories.
Jose Nazario was talking about using Google Code Search today to support the effort to find bugs in software - there are idioms that are regular and predictable that result in failures (he noted one where bitwise tests are coded wrong as an easy one to pick out with a regexp).
if that think that's an ego boost; the OED now includes the word 'Cybrarian',
The earliest known usage is the CFP for the "Cybrarians: WAIS/Archivists' BoF we hosted at the Jan 1992 Winter Usenix!
(this week I finally got all the paperwork together for applying to the PHd. program at SILS here at UNC, ) ABA - All but acceptance :)
