Edinburgh Science Festival 2009
I was the technical manager at Adam House and George Square Theatre for 23 performances of 5 shows being performed during the science festival. This includes designing and rigging the lighting, organizing equipment, getting in the shows and operating some of the performances.
NSDF 2009
I was part of the technical crew for NSDF 2009 and travelled down to Scarborough during Easter to help setup, operate and take down the 12 shows performing over the week. I also received official Avolites training on Pearl and D4 desks while there.
I host my own server (from home) which runs Debian and I'm fairly competent at managing apache/samba and all the other stuff that you need to be able to do to run a linux server.
I'm part of the Edinburgh University Tardis Project.
I'm experienced in XHTML, CSS, php and SQL and familiar with python, perl and java but I can generally pickup new languages quickly (I'm also familiar with MATLAB and Unrealscript but don't code in them on a regular basis).
I also help manage my clan's site and game servers which includes setting up BF2/CoD4 profiles and settings, Punkbuster settings. I'm more than familiar with PunkBuster and I am involved with the writing of the TWL PB configurations.
I can be found in the servers and forums of ~)BlackHearts(~ A BF2 and CoD4 Clan that I am a member of and play for.
I'm an TWL Anti-Cheat Admin which involves finding the cheating scum of the community and banning them - good fun.
I idle constantly on IRC and you can find me (as 'blip2') on the following networks:
EntertheGame
QuakeNet
Gamesurge
ImaginaryNet
I'm also part of the network staff on EntertheGame.
