Projects

I work on a lot of things. Probably more than for my own good. Here, if you're really bored, you can read about some of it. :)

If you're interested in supporting the work I do (or have done), please donate.

Current Major Projects

Qt Development Framework

Qt is a well known cross-platform application development framework.

I first encountered it as a developer around 2008 and have enjoyed it ever since.

More recently, I have been putting my efforts towards trying to help Qt become a more open and collaborative project, through efforts like open testing infrastructure and simply trying to push things along by cheerleading appropriately, as well as doing my own bits of code review and contribution.

I also offer a lot of mentoring and help to people new to Qt, both application developers and Qt hackers, by pointing them in the right direction. Worth noting that if you fit into either category, and need assistance, feel free to contact me.

MeeGo (or Maemo)

Like the above for Qt, I help MeeGo developers with problems, especially relating to Qt. Again, if you need help at all with MeeGo, contact me.

I have also contributed various patches to components both in MeeGo upstream (such as Qt) as well as in MeeGo itself, for example, the IVI user interface.

Miscellaneous Bits

A lot of the work I've done isn't really complete, or I don't work on anymore (so I didn't bother to write about it), or it just doesn't warrant mention.

You can find information on a lot of these at my github account, my Gitorious account and on my Ohloh profile

Past Projects

FaceBrick

FaceBrick is a Facebook client for Maemo, aimed at having a close integration with the Maemo user experience.

I wrote all of the initial implementation (UI and parsing) for Facebrick. I also designed the UI and all other aspects. I mentored a student for GSOC, Kamilla Bremeraunet for Google Summer of Code '10, at adding new features to FaceBrick.

I no longer maintain Facebrick, for more information on my reasons, please see my blog

InspIRCd

InspIRCd is an extensible, modular IRC daemon, now the second most used software for running IRC servers.

I worked on InspIRCd as one of the Lead Developers, from 2003 until January 2010, when I moved on to other interests, leaving it in capable hands.

STARLIGHT

My first (real) project, Starlight was a desktop environment for DOS, written in BASIC.

It included various subcomponents, like a terminal, and also a very primitive scripting language.

I no longer have the source code to it.

Other

I have contributed bits and pieces to so many things that I've lost count, now.. but I'm sure you can find them if you look.
