Updates have been slow around here for a while, but there’s a reason for that. My spare time in recent days has been soaked up preparing for my career change, which I’ll explain.

Those lucky enough to have gone have had their reward of first dibs on the material presented, so now I can present a brief summary of the paper that we in the Software Engineering group at Freie Universität produced for that conference. The paper is both a way of announcing Saros […]

Ah, I've Been Expecting You…

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 13:32:27 +0000

Welcome to the new location for my blog. Until recently this blog was hosted by the University of Lincoln whilst I obtained my PhD. Now that it’s completed and I’ve moved on, I’ve moved it here. Coincidentally, we in the Software Engineering Working Group at the Free University of Berlin are in the process of […]
