- Family and Home Stuff...
- My wedding to Estelle
- Our daughter, Kathryn
- And our TWINS born in Feb 2004. They are now writing things like Javascript Fractal Terrain generators!
- We're building an LED Dance Floor as a major family project with the kids. We also designed our own "NIAMA" CPU
- Stuff and Nonsense...
- My BASH-wrapper security-blanket against the "BASH Bug" / ShellShock exploit
- My rant about a previous ISP, "BT OpenWound" and their "support" of Linux became a bit of an internet meme for my 15 minutes of fame
- A silly program that writes country-and-western songs for you,
- and one to generate random band names
- please ignoreand this
- Games Stuff...
- My Artemis parser decodes recordings from the Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator. There are some other Artemis tools there too, and Ben's Mod for Artemis which adds a bunch of extra ships to the game
- my TileFall web pages, where you can also play tilefall on the web.
- Play the L-Game on the web
- Play TRAX on the web...
- ... then join The UK Trax Association, of which I am a founder member.
- Radio Stuff...
- I'm a licensed Radio Amateur - G7RZQ and now VA3NNW.
- Ages ago I built an Elecraft K2 transceiver to get myself onto the HF bands.
- More recently I've been writing a google maps app to display the NCDXF/IARU Beacons
- and porting a Morse Tutor to Javascript teach myself CW
- I have a a tower and a weather station
- I was the longest serving President of The K-W Amateur Radio Club, and am still their VP
- Other Stuff...
- Stuff I would like, Stuff Estelle would like, Stuff Kathryn would like, and Stuff Mark and Aiden would like.
- I have been known to jump off of bridges, cable-cars, and even helicopters, without a parachute, with this bunch of self-confessed mad b'stard bungy-jumpers
- People often ask me about the taglines that appear at the end of my emails. The huge list can be downloaded. I've got a program that chooses a different one at random every hour or so.
- My GPG/PGP key is available if you want to send me encrypted stuff.
