About Me

Welcome to my web page. I am a big believer in the "do the simplest thing that can possibly work" principle, and have applied it to this web site!

I live and work in Sydney, Australia. By profession I am a software architect focusing on web technologies, J2EE, distributed programming and other such buzz words.

My newest hobby is learning play bridge (I hear you never stop!). I play at Lindfield Bridge club and I can recommend the teaching course. You can see my cheat sheets, a definite work in progress!

checkstyle Tool

I have written a tool called checkstyle. It is a development tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard. Its purpose is to automate the process of checking Java code, and to spare humans of this boring (but important) task. You can get it from the checkstyle page.

PuppyCrawl.com?

If you went to http://www.puppycrawl.com and are wondering why you ended up here, do not worry, you are not lost. I use Yahoo! GeoCities to host my web site.

But why call it PuppyCrawl.com? Click here to find the source of inspiration.
