My interests are sort of being compiled/collected on my del.icio.us pages and on stumbleupon... two good examples of SocialSoftware.
Currently working as a software developer for a small company in Johannesburg, South Africa. Have worked on several WikidPad plugins, including a few for GettingThingsDone, and for using the TagMetaphor? within the wiki, and CombiningTagsAndCategories?
I like working in C# and in Java, and now spending a lot of my time with Python.
Current Projects:
- a UniversalTagBrowser? .. to access all my Tags across several apps and services in one place.
- Plugins and customizations of wikidPad
- a SokobanPuzzleGenerator using EvolutionaryAlgorithms to select for small, hard puzzles.
- and other, much less interesting things necessary to pay for survival ..
