I'm an Australian, based in the Washington, DC, area of the United States. I spend a lot of time there with Jasmine, Australia's best-known speedsolver of the Rubik's Cube. Prior to the US, Jasmine and I were based in London, UK. We have also lived previously in the United States and Australia.

I have worked for an Australian business rules and compliance company since 1999 in Australia, the US and the UK. I have also lectured in IT and Law related topics at King's College, London, and at The Australian National University.

I have some more information and a list of publications available (pop-up window).

Comments disabled

I have disabled comments on this site due to comment spam. I have received around 4,000 spam comments in the last couple of weeks, and I have been spending more time checking them than writing content for the site!

I have experimented over a year or more with various methods of blocking spam for Blosxom. I may reinstate comments if I can find a method that works with my Blosxom installation, without too much effort to filter comments manually.

Zoom Clouds

Jasmine has discovered Zoom Clouds, and she thought I should have one... so she designed it and added it to the left-hand navigation bar on this site. It's fun. It displays words and phrases from my posts and then links to them.

Experimenting with Technorati tags

I've decided to start with Technorati tags on this site, with a little help from a Blosxom plugin which my brother wrote.

I have finally responded to feedback from such luminaries as Jasmine and Beth and added a comments facility to this blog. It seems to work so far!

I have trimmed my home page

I have modified this page so it now only displays the 10 most recent entries, instead of the large number it was displaying before. All my old entries are still available under the archive heading on the left of the screen.

Back after denial of service attack

This site is back after some denial of service problems at the ISP. Hopefully, everything will be clear sailing from here.
