John “Warthog9” Hawley is a jack of all trades, programmer, sysadmin, crazy man and rabble rouser. Currently working for the Linux Foundation on assignment to kernel.org as their Chief Systems Administrator. He's worked on kernel.org as a primary sysadmin for numerous years, created PXE Knife a network & cd bootable cd of useful utilities, maintains a set of GeoIP based patches for the Bind name server, and probably more random things than he is going to remember.
He has presented a paper at the Linux Symposium on "Issues in Linux Mirroring: Or, BitTorrent Considered Harmful" in 2008 and will be presenting on "GeoDNS - Geographically-aware, protocol agnostic, load-balancing at the DNS level" in 2009. Along with his commentary on BitTorrent as a distribution mechanism, and geographic dns queries he cooks extravagant meals for his friends and then subjects them to b-rate movies.
