I am a PhD researcher in the Lincoln Social Computing Research Centre, see lisc.lincoln.ac.uk. Current research is focussed on the design, development and evaluation of sustainability applications.
Been a while since I posted but this one is worthy! I’ve been in touch with Microsoft’s Faculty connection and arranged for a Windows Phone Camp workshop to take place within the Lincoln School of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln. My own research group LiSC is hosting the event in room MC3204 (Comp Lab B). The workshop is on Wednesday March 7th @1pm-5pm – by registering and coming along you could be in with a chance to win a brand new Nokia Lumia 800 on the day! If interested then it would be helpful to familiarise yourself with developing for WP7 using Visual Studio 2010 and the WP7 ‘Mango’ SDK, by doing so you will get more out of the workshop. All machines in room MC3204 are installed with the prerequisite tools if you want to get a head start!

I’m off down to London on Sept 1st/2nd to meet the fantastic guys behind the ‘Internet of Things’ Pachube platform and also the main man Ken Boak who brought us the Nanode. The event is taking place at the London Hackspace. The Electro-Magnates project I work on uses Pachube as the cloud storage platform of [...]
Been very busy lately stepping up the Electro Magnates project I am working on which forms the basis of my PhD work, especially since I’m almost into the third year of the PhD! I’ve just completed a substantial piece of qualitative analysis (using Grounded Theory) that details the design concepts and implications for energy interventions [...]
The research group I work in (LiSC) has lots of sensors and hardware just lying around not doing much so I decided to have a bit of fun with Phidgets and Twitter. Our cat at home, Magic, is a quirky sort of character and we were worried about his eating habits of late, particularly as [...]
