Company Description
Rutherford Consulting is the personal site and consulting banner of Andrew Wood, a software developer and Unix system administrator known for creating practical, robust, and well documented Free Software tools. The site highlights a long running commitment to open source principles, giving users the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change, and improve the software. A flagship project is Pipe Viewer (pv), a terminal based utility for monitoring and shaping the flow of data through pipelines. The project is actively maintained, with version 1.10.3 released on 15 December 2025, and is distributed with source archives and prebuilt packages for common Linux distributions and AIX. Documentation, a quick reference manual, a public Git repository, an issue tracker hosted at Codeberg, and a signing key for release verification are all provided to support transparent and secure adoption. Beyond pv, Andrew develops and maintains a wide range of tools including Continual Sync for directory tree synchronization, Parmo for package and repository maintenance operations, and Scheduled Command Wrapper to extend cron jobs with richer logging and collision avoidance. Security and reliability are recurring themes, reflected in utilities like XYZ for configuration and security checks, QSF Quick Spam Filter, and several RT (Request Tracker) extensions such as EmailReplyDelimiter, TOTP MFA for time based one time passcode authentication, and modules that streamline ticket handling, filtering, and collaboration. Additional software includes libraries and utilities like Term::VT102, Postprox, JMBA, UACT, and more. Rutherford Consulting also notes a focused commercial service for web hosting user account management, and provides a portfolio page describing client work and custom engagements. Andrew shares updates and interacts with the community on Mastodon and Matrix, and maintains Liberapay and Ko fi pages to support Free Software development. He has also authored a short childrens book, The Story of Ida Know, available through Amazon and Lulu. The site offers a contact form for inquiries, and serves as a comprehensive hub for projects, releases, packages, documentation, and examples that demonstrate careful engineering, performance awareness, and dependable long term maintenance.
