Only people I know in real life or whose blogs I read on a regular basis are listed here; links to my other favourite sites can be found on Rixort. Links are added in a more or less random order, just because someone is higher up the page it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re more important.

Local(ish) friends

In the mind of jennie b – Jennie works down south in Oxford for Corporate Watch, and was Welfare Officer at our glorious students’ union for a year.

My Year in Nowhere – Warped’s illustrious prez of 2003/4, Justine is now back in Manchester. Despite having views at opposite ends of the political spectrum, we’ve managed to avoid strangling one another so far.

Ugh – Another Warped (ex-)regular, David is also a hiker and keeps trying to convince me that walking through waist-high snow is fun.

Piscis cadaver – Ex-Compsoc admin who has migrated down south, Cez is almost as bad at pool as I am (but not quite)

krn.me.uk – Another escapee from the lunatic asylum (err, I mean fellow CS graduate , Kirk wasn’t quite insane enough to take pure CS so got out of it by doing some Business Management modules as well.

Faraway people

Altered Sky – Apple advocate and crazy cat lover, Lorry introduced me to the joys of accessing IRC via irssi running in a screen client.

My other sites

I own far too many domains (twenty one at the current count), but here’s what I’m doing with some of them:

Data Circle – Collaborative weblog covering the latest in technology news, with several regular authors presenting their views on the headline stories as well as the ability for members to comment and post their own news.

Font Planet – Distribution site for free fonts, without the usual pop up and flash ads that plague many other sites offering this kind of material.

Game Demos – Listings site where you can find demos for all your favourite games.

Politics Watch – My commentary on UK political events and news.

Rixort – My main personal site, containing tutorials, computing tips, code and anything else I’m working on. Hasn’t been updated for a while but I’m working on it.

Rogue Students – A site for students, based around a forum system and primarily aimed at Holy Cross alumni. Currently undergoing a complete code rewrite as phpBB is the least extendable piece of software I’ve had to deal with so far.
