Freenet

I work on Freenet. This is an anonymous filesharing system designed both to ensure freedom of speech (or more specifically, freedom to publish data for anyone who will listen) in the West, where it is threatened surprisingly often (usually by corporate or cultish interests but sometimes by government), and for underground "darknets" in the less free world. It supports static web sites, searching, chat forums, and filesharing, with more on the way. It is also immune to the slashdot effect, and allows you to publish anonymously from almost anywhere. Give it a go!

Amphibian Computer Services

I work professionally on Freenet as the only paid developer, which means I am involved in coding, debugging, micro-architecture, design discussions, testing, volunteer co-ordination, code review and pretty much everything else that happens to the Freenet codebase (more), working with a group of volunteers from around the world and the wider Freenet community. Freenet is largely written in Java 5, uses db4o, UDP networking, crypto, peer to peer and friend to friend networking, web interfaces and various other technologies. I am self-employed as Amphibian Computer Services, and FPI are my main client, and I intend to continue spending the majority of my working time over a year on Freenet. However, they are charitable, tiny, can't pay well, and are constantly in a precarious situation. Short term commercial contract work which I can do from home (Scarborough) is therefore of interest, contact me! Alternatively, if you love Freenet, please donate to them to keep me working on Freenet itself as much as possible!

Guide rates:

For fixed price contracts costs will be increased significantly, all rates are subject to negotiation on an individual project basis. Contact me!

Other stuff

The 10:10 campaign. I co-ordinate the local Scarborough group. We have so far shown Age of Stupid to around 150 people, sent 5 people (plus the Scarborough Green Party's 4) to The Wave, run stalls, got people to sign up to the 10:10 campaign pledge to cut your carbon emissions 10% in 2010 and occasionally open a shop on Hanover Road where you can get free tea or coffee and lots of information.

My church, Ebenezer Baptist Church. Friendly, outward focused, sound doctrine, good worship, lively, come along.
