About Overview
Who am I? What are my interests? Where have I been?This is the place those and other questions are answered. Well... they are answered with as much clarity as I feel comfortable giving a complete stranger anyway.
Where do I come from?

Good question.
The most correct answer is that I come from New Zealand. I was born there; I spent my entire childhood and adolescence there. I consider my self to be a New Zealander, a "Kiwi".
But... Most of my adult life has been spent in a lot of other countries. So much so, that I now consider myself to be more a child of the world (or at least the western world) than of any one country specifically. Read more
How to use Airtunes without MP3 (or iTunes)
7 March, 2007 - 01:21 — Keith
Around the same time I purchased the Mac, we also purchased an Airport Express so that we could stream music from our computers to our stereo.
It was something of a disappointment to learn that by default, you can only stream music to the Airport Express via iTunes, and that you can only use natively supported music formats to boot (such as MP3).
The new laptop
7 March, 2007 - 01:07 — Keith
I have a new laptop! It is the Mac that I was promising to get a few weeks ago. [big sloppy grin]
So far I am loving it - all the goodness of Unix in a pretty and usable shell. "Numfar: Do the dance of joy!"
Actually, the transition has been easier than I was expecting, and despite making sure that I could set-up boot-camp (the ability to dual boot into Windows) , I haven't needed to once. I haven't even bothered to install it.
A Download Section
2 January, 2008 - 01:33 — Keith
I have added a download section to the site. In it I will generally be placing binary distributions of various open-source packages that I build personally (usually because the standard distributions aren't as current as I would otherwise like.I am placing them online on the off-chance that others (who don't have an interest in creating their own builds) may be interested in using them.
Let me know if you have any problems or issues.
OpenID is now supported here

I have added OpenID support to the site.
It is a cool technology that allows people to make use of "registered function" without having to register - because they already have somewhere else, for example: LiveJournal. Which in the case of my site means that any comments you post don't need to be anonymous (marked as "not verified").
Site updates

It's taken a couple of weeks, but I think I am finished with all the layout changes and tweaks to my site... well I think it looks better anyway.
