A Sunday afternoon perl project to make a nice-ish looking viewer for subversion logs.
Subversion is a fantastic version control system to replace CVS, which has been the standard version control system for some time. I used to use CVS when I was working at hotrecruit, and it was something of a PITA, subversion seems to have built nicely on CVS's shortcomings.

*Hehe* in a bit of a silly mood today, after looking at the GNU humour pages, so I wrote this. I suppose it's loosely based on the Irish Virus hoax.

Another bit of perl poetry. Quite pleased with this one :-)

I choose not to vote (well I usually spoil my ballot paper) because voting is consenting to be governed.

Here's a brief explanation of my position that I wrote for notapathetic.com, a site set up to give non-voters a voice.

Just finished hacking together a perl script that parses xml search results provided by gigablast dot com.

What it means is that I've been able to replace my old Google based site search, with one that looks like it's still part of the site. I shall probably make it able to search multiple sites sometime soon, so that you can search my dotcom, dotorgdotuk and rootshell pages all at the same time.

I just read this story on slashdot. Lots of bloggers are linking to the wikipedia entry about online poker in an effort to piss off spammers. I have to play that game ;-)

I just registered on the Fellowship of Free Software Foundation, Europe website, so this is my page on their site.

Joining as a fellow seems like a great way to support the work of the Free Software Foundation, Europe and learn from and network with other like-minded free software folks. You also get a nifty crypto card - review to be posted at some point in the not too distant future...

I helped my lovely friend Rose put together a site to show her art to the world. It's called rosecairns.org.uk.
There's some pics in the image archive of me and her walking the Ridgeway

Another Squirrelmail resource, developed for People & Planet, where I work.
This one is a very basic introduction to Squirrelmail to help out people just getting started using it.

This is a brief introduction to Squirrelmail that I wrote for People & Planet, where I work.
Some of the details are specific to that environment, but people supporting Squirrelmail may find it helpful as the basis for future documents.
