<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.
