This is the personal homepage of Steve Kemp, a free software programmer living in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The site has been online in one place or another since around 1996 serving as a small personal reference upon body piercing, and as a place to download the free software I have written.

This site itself is hosted upon a Debian GNU/Linux Xen instance which is maintained as a simple co-operative. The physical hardware is hosted by Bytemark Hosting a company who I started using a few years ago - and now find myself working for!

I'm a sysadmin located in Edinburgh experienced in using and developing under GNU/Linux, Solaris and Microsoft Windows.

I'm a member of the Debian project, and I run a Debian System Administration website in my spare time to share tips and resources which would be useful to fellow Debian GNU/Linux users. Whilst the site is predominately aimed at system administration there are a lot articles of interest to any Debian user..

I have a large number of interests, and projects which I devote my time to. Most recently these have included:

Stop Blog & Forum Spam

This is a simple site which offers an XML-RPC service to detect and identify blog/forum spam.

Debian Administration

This is the site which I setup to share useful pieces of information about the Debian GNU/Linux operating system.

Mail-Scanning: AntiSpam Protection

This is a relatively new endeavor which is generating a lot of interest, and growing nicely.

There are other projects which I spent my time working upon, which are often described in my Debian & Free Software Blog.

This is random assortment of items, or areas, of this site which have been updated recently:

• skximapd - A simple IMAP server framework.
• skxlist - A simple mailing list manager.
• blogspam service launched.
• tscreen, a fork of GNU Screen.
• rapt, a tool to create Debian apt-get repositories was created.
• A new IMAP utility sift was added.
• A new section added on my steam engines.
• I've created a Mercurial Repository for hosting my projects
• The Chronicle Blog Compiler has had a new release.
• My mutt-tagging system, for multi-folder mail tagging with the mutt client was introduced.
• My image gallery has been overhauled.
