Welcome!

Welcome, my name is Jamie Furness. Here you will find a bit about me and some of my thoughts, information on some projects I am currently working on, as well as projects I have worked on in the past.

Education

I have just finished my fourth and final year at The University of Stirling in Scotland; where I graduated with a first class BSc degree with honours, in Software Engineering. For my final year honours project I was investigating how existing open-source libraries, in particular jMonkeyEngine along with Apache MINA, could be used to assist in the development of a Java-based MORPG framework.

Next year I will be returning to The University of Stirling to start a PhD in "Search Algorithms for Structured Peer-to-Peer Overlay Networks".

Interests

I have been programming since an early age, my languages of choice are Java and PHP, though more recently I have been working with C# .NET. Along with software I also am interested in computer hardware, and enjoy (dis)assembling systems in my spare time.

This year I have taken up snowboarding, although I am still very much an amateur! Hopefully now that my dissertation is over I will have more time to practise!
