30 Days of Geek: 12 – What area do you want to expand your skills into?
I can’t really think of much to say here, other than that I’d love to continue expanding my skills. As a soon-to-be Ph.D student, I’d love to expand my researching abilities (papers papers whoo!) — hopefully resulting in an excellent … Continue reading
30 Days of Geek: Days 10 & 11
So yesterday I was in the air, and unable to do day 10′s post. Luckily they make enough sense combined to combine into a single post. Picture, screenshot and specifications of your primary computer. Apologies for the blurry photo. I’ve … Continue reading
30 Days of Geek: 06 – Primary geek fuel (snacks/drinks)
This is a delayed post which is likely to show up as I’m several kilometres above New Zealand. The next few posts may/may not be delayed. Nothing particularly fixed as far as food is concerned. I’ll eat whatever I can … Continue reading
30 Days of Geek: 04 – Greatest application written to date.
When Jethro proposed this topic, he was probably thinking of computer programs. I’m going left-field. My greatest application to date was my application to become an intern at Google. I applied for my internship in July of 2009, and heard … Continue reading
30 Days of Geek: 03 – What does your day job involve?
I have three things that I usually do with my day-to-day life: First up, I’m an eternal student (or at least, I usually am). Unusually, this semester’s been spent not studying anything for the first time in most of my … Continue reading

Right, so for those of you who missed my announcement a couple of weeks ago, I’m taking part in the 30 Days of Geek blogging challenge throughout November. This is the first of those posts. So this first of those … Continue reading
Academia, gogo!
In today’s exciting post I describe a rather amusing series of events and the end result of it: The events: In August I submitted a paper to a Computer Vision conference being held in New Zealand in November. This is … Continue reading
30 Days of Geek challenge
My friend Jethro Carr has just suggested another 30-day blogging challenge, and unlike the last one, this one doesn’t require me to be highly introspective and emotional, which I can gladly cope with . Instead, the topic this time around … Continue reading
One week left for LCA2011 Miniconf proposals
In case you’ve missed it in other channels, the linux.conf.au 2011 miniconf CFPs close on Friday October 22 (for the most part). For my part, I’m still looking for more presentations for the Open Programming and Research & Student Innovation … Continue reading
A Miniconf for Researchers and Students
Because my insanity knows no bounds, I’m helping out with a second miniconf at Linux.conf.au 2011 in Brisbane. It’s called the FOSS in Research and Student Innovation Miniconf, and I’m running it with my fellow ex-UTAS Honours Student, Peter Lyle. … Continue reading
