Welcome!

This is my place to try out new web code, share photos, and supply the world with Mailman documentation. I'm still in the process of updating my website, so if you're looking for something that's no longer here, please feel free to give me a shout and ask for it directly.

The picture at the top of the page is of a stained glass ceiling in Casa Loma. I took the picture while visiting Toronto in summer 2006.

I am currently pursing my PhD in Computer Security, and I've been focusing my attentions on web security of late. I'm finishing up some part-time work at the moment and am not seeking more, as I'd like to spend more time on my volunteer projects, particularly Mailman (please note the documenation I've written for the Mailman project) and LinuxChix.

You may also wish to see my webpage at the university.

I bought a new camera! I've taken quite a few photos already, and I'm still processing them. Here's a small collection of ones I took of my friend Marlene:

And a similar grouping of ones I took of her husband, Andrew:

My halloween photos are up! Along with a few other galleries that I'm too lazy to provide thumbnails for here right now. Take a look around.

Pictures!

First up is a handful of photos of Chris's kite. He treated me to a bit of an air show when he was up visiting in June for OLS.

Unsurprisingly, next up is the pathetically small number of photos I took at OLS. I really need to see what photos other people took, since I was more in the mood to socialise than record said socialization. The photo here is my favourite one, although it needs some light adjustment, because it records us taking in high tea at the Chateau Laurier. Very Civilized.

Following OLS was Canada Day which remains my favourite holiday. A number of years ago, I started carrying bubbles around so that when we sat down, we could entertain the nearby kids and hand out extra little containers of bubble stuff to them. This year, we became a full-fledged kid-entertainment station, blowing bubbles, sharing our strawberries, and doing face painting. Fun!

The Stewart Park Festival was fun as usual. I didn't bother getting pictures of the performers, because the first day it was pouring rain and the second day we were much further back, but I got a nice picture of my sister marking labs in the sun.

Strangely, at the cottage I took more nature photos and not many pictures of my companions. Normally I'm all about getting pictures of my friends, since that's what inspired me to buy my first digital camera. This is just a few shots I liked that others might like too.

At the Folk Festival I was back to shooting people. It's funny -- I probably have nearly identical shots for every year we've gone, and it's been probably a decade since Marlene and I started going to the festival!

Susan and I amused ourselves with some experimental baking one night when she stopped by my place after work. We took cinnamon roll dough and made chocolate-bread things in various geometric shapes ("Look, a triangle! Look, a pentagonal thing! Look, a torus!") filled with chocolate. They're pretty tasty, if I do say so myself!

Welcome to the new website design! I decided that it was time for a more modern web design, especially given that I've been doing work as a web security researcher, so I should probably pay a bit more attention to my own web space. Some of the old content hasn't been migrated yet (and possibly not all of it will be migrated).

Hi to anyone from OLS who's decided to look me up after meeting me at the conference. Sorry, I don't have pictures up yet.

For anyone who met me at the CMS-MITACS joint conference, I do have photos of Winnipeg available on flickr. There's lots of them there; that's just the first on in the series.
