New Blog

Ok, This is my new blog – I think this’ll be better for me as it means I have a lot more control over the underlying blog software (compared to what I had on my MSN Live Spaces blog). If you’re wanting any particular content in here, let me know – you should all know my particular areas of research (but to bring everyone up to date, my research is particularly surrounding plugin-based software, and I am just beginning research into semantic web technologies for the next few years).

Hopefully over the next few days this site will be finished off, then I need to focus some attention on my other important website: the website for my company Novix Ltd.

Update: Well, all previous blog entries have had their formatting updated, and now they look much better. I still have a bit more work to do, but overall wordpress is a good piece of blogging software.

Cheers,
Jonathan.

Microsoft are coming to Massey

If you’re free this Thursday, Paul and Xiang from Microsoft will be presenting in AgHort 2 from 2pm-3pm. There will be a demo on some of the Microsoft Atlas technologies, and they will be looking for someone to take over the roll of Microsoft student ambassador/student partner, which was what I did this year.

Cheers,
Jonathan.
