Da Penguin's Home Page

Me and my hobbies

• Who (and where!) I am
• An almost-never-updated blog.
• Astrophotography. I'm not much of a photographer, but I have access to fairly clear skies and it's nice to point a camera at them sometimes.
• The Penguin's Kitchen Companion
• Software I've written that you may find useful.
• Some talks I have given over the past few years.

Computing

• How many mails I receive. This is a graph of the number of e-mails I've received per day since October 2002. The points are averaged over each week to remove weekday variations.
• A reminder for C weenies.
• Signature programs - four line programs in various languages.
• Spam tools - I spend lots of my working day dealing with the thousands of spams we receive at Aber. This page gives details of some of the things I use to try to detect spam. Hopefully they might be of some use to other people.

Active stuff

• My amateur radio locator calculator. Useful if you don't know where you are.
• A little hack for crossword cheats. Also a useful dictionary.
• A Biorhythm calculator. Not as though I believe in them or anything.
• Look up U.K. STD codes from phone number.
• LDAP Authentication in PHP demo (and source code).
• Some mail addresses - guess what this is for.
• Colour table. A list of HTML hex colour codes. Generated from the XOrg /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt file.
