PicaSim - Flight simulator for radio control aircraft, available on Android, iOS and Windows. |

I play the concertina. |
|
I play the cello, sometimes with an early music group called Skeleton Crew, and sometimes with Giles Lewin. |
|
Various photos, mostly of wildlife around Coburg (and more recently Frankfurt Am Main) in Germany where I used to work for Crytek on Crysis. Also see Flickr. |

Adapting the Skywatcher 130p telescope for astrophotography |
|
I spent 3 years at Reading University Meteorological Department studying for a PhD, and subsequently 2 years working as a post-doc researching the effects of turbulence in the atmosphere around weather fronts. | |
Whilst trying to transcribe a
piece of music I was forced to resort to
writing some programs to analyse it using wavelets, which turned out to
be pretty interesting, especially as I was able to use the same
software for my meteorological work too! |
|
I tried playing stringy
things for a while, but didn't get very far. This coincided with my
rediscovery of programming, so I wrote this Windows application for
calculating chord shapes. |
|
I've looked after quite a lot of very nice rats over a number of years (though I have none at the moment)... |
|
An old flight simulator for R/C model gliders (though it's flexible enough to cover helicopters
and sledges too!). |
|
Rigid body simulation experiment - using a combination of standard and verlet/particle integration. |
|
A much better rigid-body experiment. |
|
A later (but still ancient) physics library/demo that is probably useable, though I wouldn't recommend it! |
|
A little fluid dynamics demo. |
|
Some simple character
movement code using Verlet integration. |
Any comments (including bad links etc) to
I get a lot of junk email. I try to answer every real email I get but sometimes they get lost amongst the spam - so please make the subject something obviously interesting, and if I don't reply within a few days please try again!
