   Most of my time I spend hacking on <A HREF=http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/projects/spin/www/index.html><i>SPIN</i></A>, which is a safe, adaptable and extensible operating system.  My primary contribution to <i>SPIN</i> is <a href=http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/mef/usenix96.html>An Extensible Protocol Architecture for Application-Specific Networking</a>.  Applications achieve compelling performance improvements using our new structure, when compared to similar applications running on DEC's commercial OSF/1 V3.2 platform.
