Daniel J. Barrett (born November 6, 1963) is a writer,[1][2] software engineer,[3][4] and musician.[5] He is best known for his technology books, his work with progressive rock band Gentle Giant,[6] and the imaginary computer game BLAZEMONGER.

Writing

Barrett has written a number of technical books on computer topics. The most well-known are Linux Pocket Guide[7] and SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide.[8][9] His books have been translated into Czech, French, German, Hungarian, Japanese, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, and Russian.

Corporate use of MediaWiki

Barrett, author of the book MediaWiki (ISBN 978-0-5965-1979-7),[10] has received media coverage for his deployment of MediaWiki in corporate environments.[11][12][13][14][15][16]

Gentle Giant

Barrett was active in the resurgence of 1970s progressive rock band Gentle Giant in the 1990s. He created the official Gentle Giant Home Page in 1994,[17] and though it began as a fan site, it was adopted by the band and is listed as the "Official Gentle Giant website" on the band's CD re-releases.[18]

In 1996, Barrett compiled a 2-CD set of their songs for PolyGram entitled Edge of Twilight.[19]

Humor

In the 1990s, Barrett created the concept of BLAZEMONGER,[20] an imaginary computer game that spoofed the computing industry, and wrote approximately 100 articles about it.[21]

In 1988, Barrett wrote and recorded the song "Find the Longest Path," a parody incorporating an NP-complete problem in computer science and the frustrations of graduate school. It has been played at mathematics conferences[22] and incorporated into several YouTube videos by other people.[23][24]
