NaNoWriMo As mentioned above, this site is written and maintained by Rob Hague, an expert at talking about himself in the third person. Rob's homepage can be found here.

In 2002, he tried (and succeeded) to write a novel in a month. At some point he'll take the logo off the front page. But not yet.

Software

>

I occasionally write things that might be of some use to other people (and isn't owned by some huge corporation or other). Some of this can be found here.

Mac OS X Odds & Sods

>

I've had an Apple iBook for a while now, an have generally been very pleased with it. I've created a virtual dumping ground for my musings about Mac OS X here.

Links

>

This page is a collection of links to useful/interesting/fun stuff that I've come across.

You may have arrived here by mistake; if you're an opera fan, try roh.org.uk. If you're looking for Reproductive Health Outlook, they're here.

ImMDB

I also collaborate with Ben Chalmers to produce the Imaginary Movie Database, a site dedicated to those films that other sources seem to miss. We've not updated in a while, but we'll start again Real Soon Now. Honest.

InKeWriMo

If you're at all interesting in open source or Linux (either for it or against it), you can't have missed the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution's recent report suggesting that Linus Torvalds couldn't have possibly have written a kernel that quickly without cribbing the code from Minix. The assertion has been roundly dismissed by Tannenbaum, Stallman, Torvalds and various others, but got me thinking; how difficult is it to get a kernel up and running? Could I do it?

Like a pebble causing a landslide, this thought lead inextricably to the idea of InKeWriMo - International Kernel Writing Month (c.f. NaNoWriMo). A month is perhaps a little ambitious if you're doing it in your spare time, and I'm more than a little busy for the next couple of months, but still...
