Do accept my apologies for not blogging. I’ve found it to be something that’s not quite my cup of tea. I’ll update this website to be more relevant shortly, but in the meantime, here’s a summary of what I’m doing.

• Assanka My web development agency goes from strength to strength, with lots of very interesting work going on. Indeed, in May 2008 one of our websites (FTAlphaville) won a webby for being the best business blog. I’m currently exploring how virtualisation might help improve our hosting platform, with a view to deploying this over Christmas 2008 if it’s appropriate.
• Research I’m continuing my PhD work which explores how we might improve digital cameras by better understanding how the human eye focuses. I’m hoping to have finished writing up by the middle of the Autumn (fingers crossed). This work is with Prof Fred Stentiford, Dr Steven Dakin and is based at UCL’s Adastral Park campus
• Interests In my limited spare time, I’m doing the odd bit of DIY, a lot of cooking, and planning our wedding.
