===== Contact =====

This is confusing, I seem to have collected too many addresses. It works like this:

  * vext01 (at) gmail dot com -  For personal email.
  * eddbarrett (at) googlemail dot com - Is an address I occasionally use for more formal personal mail.
  * e.barrett (at) kent dot ac dot uk - For academic stuff.
  * eb771 (at) kent dot ac dot uk  - Another academic address.
  * edd (at) openbsd dot org - For OpenBSD related stuff.

===== About Me =====

My name is Edd and I am a PhD student and part time seminar teacher at University of Kent. My area of research is "Reverse engineering native code in the interest of security".

I did my undergraduate course at Bournemouth University, where I achieved a 1st class BSc Hons Computing degree. My dissertation project was a [[ edd:3c | JIT compiler ]] using LLVM and python.

In my spare time I am an OpenBSD developer. Currently I provide OpenBSD with it's LaTeX and MPlayer support, amongst other bits and bobs.

Memberships include:

  * Programming Languages and System Research Group @ University of Kent.
  * TeX User Group (UK)
  * Bournemouth University UNIX User Group (founder).

I have a keen interest in odd sounding/progressive/death metal (that's music!), as well as in down-tempo electronic music. From 'Decapitated' to 'Massive Attack'. I also love going to festivals. I have been to Download Festival and Reading Festival many times, and I work as a steward or on the task force at a few of folk festivals each year.

I also like a good ale with friends at the pub. Cheers!

===== As of Lately =====

  * Hellfest!
  * NSAD Paper Submission.
  * Reading "Bugs in Writing"
  * Polishing my logic programming language.
