Software

Written by me

At the moment, the main software development I'm doing in my own time is writing apps for Android. I publish them under the name Jampact Apps.

Other software:

• Thumbelina - Generates photo galleries for web pages.
• File Listing PHP Script - Put this in a directory on your web server to list the files in that are available in an HTML page. Simple and useful.
• Aim Game 2 - A tanks game for older versions of Windows.
• Risk - I've used and made some contributions to this open source simulator for emergency response scenarios.
• Other
