I used to do lots of Open Source stuff in the late 1990s/early 2000s. You can find my code in the released versions of Pure-FTPd, Gnu Privacy Guard, official Exim RPM spec, and more. I also used to have my own public patches for Cyrus-SASL, mod_auth_mysql amongst others. I also published Perl, JavaScript and other custom RPMs.
In 2016, I went back to my roots to work for an open source company. Check out my GitHub and my gists.
I've often thought of writing a DNS Server, but it's never happened. A sketch of the design is available.
I've had a web site since 1994, and it has been on this domain since 2004. It has run on many technologies over the years. I used to list them here, but it was a long, and very boring list.
I come from the West Country of England, and went to the University of Bath. I now live in the Thames Valley.
I love riding a road bike: I commute on one (sometimes), and go out for longer rides at the weekend.
I play the guitar badly. Really badly.

I'm mainly interested in pure maths, and by chance this has warped into an interest in many of the areas of computer algebra, and from there into the theory of object-oriented type systems.
In 2003 Axiom became available under an open source licence (and has even forked) but I still haven't got around to adding anything to it.
