    I'll try to make it mobile friendly but it might be difficult. There is a huge amount of information crammed in to the table but I will try to think of something.

    I've seen that, first of a trilogy I think. I'll give it a go, thanks.

    I have noticed that educational institutions (.edu in the US, .ac in the UK) usually have staff pages in the format /~[name]. I don't think I have seen this elsewhere. Is there a r…

    I renewed my certificate a few days ago. I think it took about 2 hours.

    A while ago I started playing with the geolocation API and tying it in with Google Maps. I might try to use it with Bing maps which I think is better, at least aesthetically. It lo…

    Depends what area you work in but as you are on this site I assume it's something nerdy :) I would like to be better at graphic design, nothing to complex, just the ability to desi…
