<h3>Interests</h3>
</div>
<div class="span12 column">
<p>
I am a supporter of the opensource movement, and try to use free/libre software
and code where I can. I also release all my code under free licenses where possible
in the hope that they might be useful to others.
</p>
<p>
I enjoy developing many small systems for both personal and educational use.
Aside from the projects listed on my
<a href="https://benroberts.net" title="Personal Website">personal website</a>,
in the past I have also written a web-based remote control for WinAMP, and
"audio emoticon" software for use with MSN Messenger, which was downloaded more than
a million times.
</p>
<p>
At University I was in a group named "CSLib" (Computer Science Library),
which maintained a centralised software repository for other students in the
department. This involved building and maintaining software, often compiled from
source. It also involves managing a Windows 2003 Terminal Server for remote use
by other students.
</p>
<p>
My third year individual project was to design and implement a cross platform
document sharing system which featured zero-configuration peer discovery, and
password-less, decentralised authentication whilst maintaining privacy and
security.
