I worked for SICS from 1997 to 2007, conducting research on simulation-based tools for debugging and testing concurrent programs. See the Nornir project page for more information. Before taking up simulation, I worked on IP protocol implementation, in particular with an IPv6 implementation for HP-UX 9.05. I have also implemented IP multicast in the Nemesis operating system.
I left SICS in June 2007 to work for Google in Stockholm.

Hlin - An extendible tool for automated administration of Linux systems. It has little documentation, but a bunch of examples used by the author, and may be useful to you anyway. The latest snapshot can be found here
minimise_source - A script for minimising a C++ source testcase that triggers a particular problem, for example a compiler error.
KTH Kerberos 4 1.2.2, patched by Björn Grönvall to compile under Linux Redhat 9.
In a previous life, I used to play bridge. I played for a few years with Team Magic, whose bidding systems (Magic Diamond) can be found at Tjolpe's website. I have also played a strong club/forcing pass system, Ramanujan, with Per Hallberg. It is only available in Swedish, in Postscript, PDF, and Word.
