Occasionally I create things. This may take the form of code, or it may take the form of prose… I’ve even been known to write the odd song or two.

Of course, the fact that I have created this stuff doesn’t mean that it’s any good, but the very fact that I have a website gives me every right to clog it up with junk like this. So there :p

Code

• Facebook Photo Uploader. This is a simple Java desktop client for uploading photos to Facebook. I created it because the Java Applet which Facebook use doesn’t work too well in Firefox on Linux, and I don’t like using their Simple Uploader Thinger (because it’s a pain in the arse, to be quite frank). So I created an application which can tag and upload photos from your desktop. It’s open-source, if you’d like to contribute to the project please let me know.
• Battleships. This is an implementation of the game “Battleships”, written entirely in JavaScript. I coded it when I had very little to do at work one day…

Writings

I occasionally write things, such as articles and rants etc. Most of these are posted on my blog nowadays, although I do write more ‘formal’ articles for Crossring on occasion.

Anyway, here are a few links to some of my better writings. Most of these are probably religious in nature, which I make no apologies for!

• Don’t Leave it Too Late – an article on the death of John the Baptist, from Mark 6
• Mad, Bad, or God? – an article on Mark 3:20-30, bringing in C.S. Lewis’ famous argument for the deity of Jesus.
• Is Jesus calling you today? – a brief look at Mark 1:14-20. Published on 2nd September 2009.
• The Ten Commandments, Part III: Blasphemy. The third article in the series.
• The Ten Commandments, Part II: Idolatry. The second article in the series.
• The Ten Commandments, Part I: Context. An article written for FocusOnFaith. This article is the first part of a series on the ten commandments, and looks at their Biblical context.
• Matthew 5v5: Blessed are the Meek. This is an article originally written for Crossring, looking at the “Meek” Jesus was talking about in the beatitude.
• An Interventionalist God vs God’s Sovereignty. I wrote this after watching a couple of debates between Alister McGrath and Richard Dawkins / Christopher Hitchens.
• Thoughts on the Cross. This was written in response to the whole debate at the moment about penal substitution, and the meaning of the cross in general.
• Did Protestantism Kill God?. This was written after reading “The Twilight of Atheism” by Alister McGrath – one thing he said in particular resonated with me.
