I Am...

Known to most friends as Wills ("as in Three Castles"), I'm a music buff with interests in computing, tenpin bowling, and pinball . I studied for a Bachelor of Science degree at The University of Leeds and now work as a software engineer.

Computing and Me: Talks and Projects

These days, I am interested in free/open source software, hence there are discussions of the GNU GrUB project, VIm, and some small Linux distros here, as well as some software of my own. (Having been a bedroom coder in the eighties, I like the fact F/OSS licensing neither stops the delivery of a stable OS and many accompanying tools in combination, nor does it stop me adapting those tools to suit any system I own, nor fixing them and taking credit -where due- if I find they're broken).

My main computing project is STUBS, which is capable of building a bootable Linux floppy, amongst other things. Other projects include 'wmfd', an analagous (but technically dissimilar) project that generates FreeDOS boot floppies.
