The Personal Website of Stephen Duffy
I hope you enjoy visiting my website. I have worked really hard on making it fast, simple, intuitive and aesthetically pleasing. I am a full-stack developer using PHP, MariaDB and Javascript.
I have also written software in C/C++, 8086, Pascal and Java interfacing with various APIs such as WinAPI or OpenGL and with microcontrollers such as VGA or UART. I mainly focus on writing websites these days with my most advanced web application being a virtual reality engine written in a combination of Javascript and WebGL secured by my own proprietary copyright protection mechanism written in PHP. I have also produced non-standard cryptographic algorithms which use unpublished methodologies of encryption. All this, and I have never earned a bean from computing!
Website Index
Due to various shufflings about throughout my life, I have lost more source code than I have managed to retain. The link above will take you to a list of software which demonstrates what I am capable of. It does not include other computing skills such as the creation of boot loaders, bash, dos and powershell skills, compiling linux kernels, installing linux servers with DKIM and postfix functionality and a whole load of other stuff perhaps a bit too technical to go into here.
I have been an advocate and sometimes activist for universal human rights my whole adult life, believing as a child, that universal human rights was mostly an issue in countries other than my own. In the link above there are a lots of resources for universal human rights advocates, including games, authoritative documents and historical writings. This is also where you will find my blog where I provide my views on the latest information about emerging threats to universal human rights such as software exploitation, information monopolies, medical malpractice and various other issues faced by those ill-represented by religions or political systems.
More About Me
I have a number of interests besides computing and humanitarianism. One of these is not television. I have not owned a television since 2010 and have not taken anything on TV seriously since 1993... not even the long running sitcom on various channels, referred to as "The News".
I like a bit of comedy but I prefer to choose my comics than have it injected into me from a sewage reservoir that needs to have canned laughter and prompted audiences so I know I am expected to laugh at something that would otherwise not be remotely funny. I like Bill Connolly, George Carlin, Steve Hughes, Bill Hicks and Eddie Izzard when he isn't dressed as a woman. I have seen some funny women comics but none that merit more than a one hit wonder but I've met some women I think should do comedy but they don't.
Being allergic to mainstream media culture, I have developed alternative interests in Sailing, Philosophy, Mathematics, Economics, Foraging, Geology, Chemistry, Alchemy, Spiritualism and Comparitive Religions.
I don't even qualify as a part-time football supporter and I'm not a fan of rugby either. My favourite sport is woman's topless volleyball but as a male, I will only ever be a spectator. I keep myself fit by smoking and playing video games. Having read the bible cover to cover and not having a TV to inform me on what the latest millionaire celebrities are worried about, some might say I've gone a little peculiar.
