Short bio:
I am a software architect and computational thinker with a deep fascination with the notion of communicative programming. My Ph.D. research centered around the application of Domain Specific Languages in order to allow concepts to be communicated more clearly and efficiently. I am actively involved in applying these techniques within industry whilst researching further into related concepts such as the aesthetics of programing languages and language oriented programming. I strongly believe that the pursuit of conceptual efficiency is more important than that of computational efficiency.

As some of you will know, I’ve spent the last few years hacking furiously on something called Overtone which is a new language front-end to the sound synthesis server SuperCollider written in Clojure. We’ve make a large amount of progress with it and adoption is continuing to grow amongst the programming community. Here’s an...

I think that SuperCollider is one of the most exciting music technologies currently available. It’s super powerful, Open Source, and has even got a separate server and language runtime giving everyone the opportunity to experiment with different approaches. I’m very excited to see where we go with it, and how I can utilise it with...

Introducing the IokeLexer It seems I just can’t stop writing syntax highlighters for Ioke. I started with adding support for TextMate, and then basic support for Geshi. Now, as a present for its P release1 I’ve added Pygments to the list: Pygments IokeLexer One of the things that has bugged me since Ioke’s birth is that its...

Figure 1. A tortoise hand shadow from Henry Bursill’s Hand Shadows To Be Thrown Upon The Wall. Any discussion of communicative programming requires us to be able to appreciate the individual notions of programming and communication; in fact, we need to be able to consider these notions both separately and in conjunction. However, although...

As some of you may know, Susanna, my wife, has recently started a Ph.D. in Bioethics at Cambridge in the Centre For Family Research. I’m so wonderfully proud of her and it’s fantastic to see her applying her mind to something that’s both interesting and challenging for her, yet ultimately valuable for us all as a society in...

For those that have noticed the recent lull in postings, you will be pleased to hear that a normal service will shortly be resumed. I’ve been very busy working hard on a number of interesting projects that I’m looking forward to sharing with everyone. The theme of this blog will also focus more on my research interests, namely...

I took my Ph.D. viva at 9.30 am on Friday the 7th of December. It was a severe grilling (as I’m sure most vivas are) but I survived it and passed with minor corrections. Wooh! Here’s a picture of me sitting post viva and champagne with Susanna, John and Chris. Happy times :-)

So, a date has been set for my viva: 9.30am on Friday the 7th of December. My fate will be sealed upon that morning. The thought is exciting yet scary. Wish me luck!
