A picture of my email address. Annoying, isn't it?

Just some guy living near Port Dickson, still wondering what to do when I grow up. My kids are growing up fast, I’d better think of something before they start wondering what I’m going to do.

I wrote some Damerau Levenshtein MySQL UDFs and Java methods. Well actually, I enhanced some existing Levenshtein-only code – the attribution is still in the source, honest. You can download them from my Damerau Levenshtein page.

I’ve been working on a Java web / application server called ‘Spinneret’ recently. It was serving poditronic.com and spider.my – a search engine – from my desk up until November 2009. Unfortunately my Internet connection was so abysmally unreliable, I’ve had to move them both onto cheap paid hosting. The search engine is in mothballs* until I can afford to rent a warehouse full of servers like Google ;p. I’m planning to release Spinneret as open source software by the end of 2009.

Spinneret is now also serving wossis.com, a flashcard site – I’d love to know what you think of it!
