Web sites I’m involved with

Gifty.co.nz helps you make gift lists and give gifts to your friends without doubling up.

DecentURL.com turns ugly URLs into meaningful ones.

microPledge.com helps people fund your project or campaign.

Software development

I’m the software guy at Brush Technology, so if you’re looking for a programmer, feel free to read my full CV and contact me.

In brief, I’m a programmer of embedded firmware and web applications, able to work well in C/C++, Python/JavaScript/PHP/SQL, HTML/CSS, Forth, various assembly languages, and English.

Prism magazine

I was also editor of Prism magazine, a small-scale New Zealand periodical, but decided to stop when I ran out of time – my wife Franci and I had a daughter and I’m helping start a business.

Flickr photos

Franci and I sometimes upload photos to our Flickr photo page. Mainly amateur family-related stuff, but feel free to have a look.
