Welcome to my vanity domain. As you can see, I have barely updated it since the <center> tag and table layouts were in fashion, and the HTML elements were all in capitals until July 2009 when I ran HTML Tidy on it. For a living, I'm in charge of developing a replicated database for GenieDB. In my spare time, I'm the Cub Scout Leader for Cranham, and I pursue my own projects (most of which I am now releasing source for as Kitten Technologies, and experiment with metalwork when the weather's good. My wife Sarah and I share a blog, www.snell-pym.org.uk, so our mutual friends can keep track of us. However, I've been putting rather a lot of technical ramblings up there, so I've divided it into categories. For just my writings, visit http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/archives/author/alaric/; for just technical things (by either of us), visit http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/categories/sci-tech/; and for stuff relating purely to our personal lives, instead see http://snell-pym.org.uk/categories/the-family/.

My key ID is 7371086A, my fingerprint is 306D A79D 37DE 29DE 1781 AA59 460C FF58 7371 086A, and my public key can be found on subkeys.pgp.net. I'm a proponent of the Web of Trust model - I will happily sign keys. Show me a government photo ID and I'll use caff to sign your key at cert level 2, or level 3 if I know you personally anyway. Give me reasonable evidence of your ownership of a pseudonym and I'll sign that too. Since I'm also into RDF, as well as sending you signatures by email using caff, I'll also publish my assertion about the mapping between your name and your key in my signed FOAF file (linked above); if you receive the signature caff sends you and I notice it's been uploaded to the keyservers, or I have other reason to trust your email address is yours, I'll add an mbox:sha1sum statement to my RDF on you, thus publishing the same statement in RDF. There's a detached signature for the source of this page. |
