Wookey's old home page

Last updated: 2008.07.08

My Home page has now moved to wookware.org

This one has not been touched since 2004, but remains for historical interest.
Pic of me

This pic, whilst representative (of me in 1993), is a bit dull, so here's some more interesting ones.

Personal

ASCII-armoured GPG Public Key

Links direct to stuff I do:

Caving

Austrian Expeditions - going where none have gone before inside the Austrian Alps with CUCC.
Survex - Freeware, multi-platform cave survey software
Cave Surveying Group - (I'm Chairman)

House-fettling, DIY, car spannering

Some pics and comments - more to come when I get round to it. Fibre-optic rear bike light monitor to save craning your head. Details of how to make one.

Work

I'm chief nerd at Aleph One, working on ARMLinux stuff, including this book. ARM-specific Linux consultancy or Debian consultancy available.

Computing (Free Software)

I'm a Debian developer, working on the ARM port, and the Survex and Aven packages, including bootfloppies and debian-cd when I get time.
Emdebian. (I volunteered to be project lead). Emdebian is a scheme to make it easy for developers to use the resources of Debian to generate new embedded systems, via tools and documentation. It needs testers and coders - anyone with any enthusiasm for this idea is very welcome.
PsiLinux project. I've been interested in this project for ages and I'm one of the admins.

Other stuff that might conceivably be of interest:

Computing

How to dissamble an ipaq (original 36xx series) and fix the 'flipping screen' problem.
How to take a Psion5 to bits
Making a GPS<->psion serial cable

Email contact

All these emails are me. If you get spamcop-filtered trying to reach me then get a better mail provider :-), but in the meantime use my survex.com address as that's not (spamcop) filtered. These addresses sadly have to be obfuscated due to that activities of spammer scum - the bit before the colon (domain) goes after the @, the bit after (username) goes before.

aleph1.co.uk:wookey survex.com:wookey armlinux.org:wookey debian.org:wookey chaos.org.uk:wookey (forwarding broken - don't use this one) freeuk.com:wookey (goes to home, read weekly at best) wookware.org:wookey (not yet in operation)
