Anything "important" has been signed with my GPG key. This document's signature is here but unless you have a reliable method of verifying my key, it serves only to make me feel special. Files in the downloads directory have signed MD5 checksums contained in the md5sums.asc file.

What I'm doing at the moment

Jeremy Jarvis and I started Brightbox, a UK based Ruby on Rails virtualized hosting company. I'm also involved in a whole bunch of other projects with Louisa Parry as part of our company, Lojoco. When I get the time I also work on one or two personal projects too, like News Sniffer and Xapian Fu.

Photography

I'm making available a growing collection of my photography. The best place to start is one of the selections galleries. Then perhaps onto places or portraits. I'm putting some old snaps up online too, mainly for the benefit of those people included in the photos. And voyeurs.

I have more photos (with some duplicated) on my Flickr photostream

All my photography is under a Creative Commons attribution license so you can use it freely as long as you credit me and pass the same rights onto others.
