Technology Associates Homepage

This website is designed to present our work on Linux and related technologies to the public. We have a lot of internal work being done on Linux, specifically, and other free or open source technologies that may be of use to others which we would like to make available (for instance, our taTelnet project, our xdb xBase compatible database library, and our talibs application development library).

We use Linux internally for all our file, mail, name, web, and ftp servers and have uptimes on our servers of over 6 months (Don't believe me? Check out the bottom of www.techass.com for the current uptime of our web server (which is good since we lost the key to rack where the server is stored at our ISP :)). Never have we had to reset a server due to software failure.
