+++ +++Interests
++++ 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. +
++ I enjoy developing many small systems for both personal and educational use. + Aside from the projects listed on my + personal website, + 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. +
++ 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. +
++ 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. +
