Skills & interests
Good level of competence in all fields of computer use:
Applications use I have familiarity with all common office and many
database applications
Programming My final year Engineering project was to write a
database interface for the object-oriented Postgres95
RDBMS to allow connection to both the WWW and legacy
database systems.
I used to be a main developer of MikMod for Unix, a
multi-platform audio application currently portable to
most common Unix platforms
I maintain several packages for the Debian Linux
distribution
I have good knowledge of C, particularly in a Unix
environment, and to a small extent under DOS. I
have some experience of Pascal, C++, awk, sed,
perl, tcl, m4, sh, SQL, HTML and some variants of
assembly.
In the course of my employment at Allstor
Software I have helped to develop and maintain
several pieces of software for AIX (versions 3.2
through to 4.2), NetBSD (1.2 to 1.3) and Solaris
(2.4 to 2.6), ranging from simple application code
through to kernel drivers for each.
System I am sysadmin of my own machine running Linux which used
administration to be hammer.chu.cam.ac.uk, providing Unix shell access
and other services for myself and about 60 other people
within the University
I have set up simple ethernet networks using a
variety of hardware.
I have experience of administering Solaris, NetBSD
and AIX (as above).
I have a full UK driving licence and I own a car.
I am a keen role-player, both running and playing games organised by CURS,
the University Role-Playing Society. I was elected Secretary for the
Society for three years and I am currently the Chief Caprine Entity. I
picked up a quarter-blue in 1996 for representing CURS (and hence the
University) in the annual Role-Playing Varsity Match with Oxford.
I am interested in almost all forms of sport and am willing to try anything,
even if I have little skill.
