Ben Hoyt
I’m married to the only Franci Hoyt in the world, and we have two lovely daughters. Check out our blog Aliens in the Apple, see our family photos, or read some of the stuff I’ve written.
By day I’m a software engineer and director at Brush Technology in Christchurch, New Zealand. From June 2010 through May 2012 I worked at Oyster.com in New York City. Read my CV / resume to learn more.
Web sites I run
- Aliens in the Apple is our family blog, started during our time in NYC.
- Gifty Weddings helps couples make great wedding gift registries.
- The Brush Blog is where I write about software and the web.
- DecentURL turns ugly URLs into meaningful ones.
- Prism magazine was a small-scale print magazine I edited.
Projects I’ve authored
Below are some small open source projects I’ve authored or co-developed. Most of them are released under a BSD-style license. Enjoy!

- fabricate is a simple build tool that automatically finds dependencies.
- inih is a tiny INI file parser written in C.
- Protothread.h is my C++ port of Adam Dunkels’ protothread library.
