Between 2010 and 2018 I was an independent committer and 'core owner' in the Chromium browser engine project.

Between 2006 and 2010 I made numerous contributions to the Tor Project

Contributions to the Wireshark Project (a dissector for the TN3270 protocol)

I made a polyglot programming pipeline thing. This is a classic case of having a slightly off-beam idea and following through on it the whole way regardless of how useful the end result may turn out.

I created dirtylittlesql.com as a way of quickly loading text files and querying them with SQL. My other site sqlybyexample.com uses a flavour of this.

Building the Tempest source code with modern equipment. A companion to my exploration of the game in Tempest vs Tempest.

Assembling and playing the source code for the Williams arcade game Robotron:2084.

I ported Gridrunner to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Possibly a technical miracle. Possibly not.

A little exploration of the disassembled Gridrunner source code.

Reverse-engineering and understanding the Uridium source code. A companion to my exploration of the game in URIDIUM/FRAKTION.

I figured out how to assemble the source code for the Williams arcade game Defender and get to match the 11 rom files that would have been loaded onto the arcade cabinet's ROM board. Today, these rom files can be used to play the game in an emulator such as MAME.

Reverse-engineering and understanding the Virtual Light machine source code.

Reverse-engineering and understanding the Psychedelia and Colourspace source code. A companion to my exploration of the game in psychedelia syndrome.

Reverse-engineering and understanding the Matrix(1983) source code.

While working on psychedelia syndrome I finally disassembled the Psychedelia sub-game in Batalyx. Eventually I'll fill out a chapter in the book on how it evolved from the original Psychedelia release, but toying with the sub-game, which is really just a glorified pause-mode, gave me an idea of how Psychedelia might be turned into an actual game.
