Here's some random stuff about me, and things I'm interested in. For more info about my research in Human-Computer Interaction, interactive exhibits and HCI pattern languages, see my official home page. Otherwise, Share and Enjoy!

I don't know about you, but every time I use Word for anything longer than one page, it drives me nuts. So I recently hacked the LaTeX style for ACM Proceedings to create a CHI Conference Proceedings LaTeX style. The class file chiproceedings.cls, currently at version 0.1, is still a bit rough, but supports most basic style features, and follows the SIGCHI Conference Publications Format. I have asked ACM to fine-tune and release it officially.
MacConnector: This shareware tool fixes two major bugs in Atelier's MacConnect backup software for Psion PDAs.
PsionARA: How to connect your Psion Series 5 PDA to the Internet using a Macintosh.
Good engineering lives forever - great story I got from a friend.
