At work, I spend a great deal of time writing. However, not all of my writing is done at work. On this page, you can find a number of articles on other subjects.

Recent Work

• My publications page has peer-reviewed articles for conference proceedings.
• Security hardening for Source Engine games on Steam. Useful if you play any of the Valve games online, e.g. Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2.
• Using debootstrap on non-Debian systems. Useful for upgrading old Linux systems to Debian.
• The missing Magrathea scene, a "deleted scene" from the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series.

Historic Work

• A-level Revision Notes, dating from 1999 when I took A-level Chemistry, Physics and Maths. Surprisingly, these are still being read. I occasionally get email about them, so I am keeping them online.

Other People's Work

• A unique board game. randomviolence is made by a friend of mine. It's deathmatch in turn-based board game form.
• Sci-fi fan fiction that isn't awful. Blue Stripe follows the lives of the ordinary people who support the heroes of Star Trek, etc. You never see them on TV, but there are toilets on the Enterprise, and some poor guy has to clean them.
• Why haven't we met any aliens? An unpopular answer for the MMOG generation.
• How to write bad fiction: use the Well-tempered Plot Device.
