Things I have written



I've written some articles and things, some of which live on this site and some on my LiveJournal.

Technical and Internet things

Spam filtering: a whistle stop tour is more or less what it says. Kuro5hin's users liked it enough to vote it on to their front page.

Spam filtering using the DCC and Exim on my Debian Linux system. A brief HOWTO.

Religion

I'm an ex-Christian, formerly part of CICCU and St Andrew the Great. I write about this a bit as a way of working my thoughts through.

I got started by writing my Losing My Religion essay, which explains how I got into and got out of the church, and why. Contains quotations from Aleister Crowley and Peter Gabriel.

Since leaving the church, I've written more about Christianity and religion in general on my blog. As well as the articles below, you might also want to look my blog postings about religion and at my LiveJournal Memories in the Religion category, which contains other people's posts I found interesting or commented on. Here are some of my favourites:

Everything else

No more crying then: Vernor Vinge's Singularity compared to Christian eschatology.

A few years ago, I did a physics degree. About the only thing you can see of that here is Quantum confinement effects in semi-conductor clusters (PDF file), my 4th year physics project about excitons in very small particles of semiconductors and how to predict their energies using the Empircal Pseudopotential Method. Mostly a rehash of someone else's stuff, but here in case anyone might find it useful. Ignore the date in the document: it was submitted in 1998 but the date on it is when I made the PDF.
