minus zero

Warning

This site belongs to a Computer Science student - beware!
More specifically; it's the site of Dave Arter, a PhD student in the FIT Lab at Swansea University.

About Me

I'm many things - PhD student, drummer, hacker, air guitarist, lover, procrastinator extraordinaire, to name a few.
I spend too much time doing the wrong things, and not enough doing the things I really want to. Sounds like a contradiction, perhaps, but that's the way it is.

Please get in touch if you have any questions about me, the site, or life, the universe and everything in general (although I can't promise answers to the last three).

Work in progress

This is a completely new design for minus zero - something that's long overdue. The old black-and-white monstrosity was a nice idea, but the design wasn't very easy to look at for too long.
That said, this design and implementation is an ongoing thing, so please let me know if anything looks broken or doesn't work for you.

Credit

The design of minus zero is based upon the Clean Looks design by Matt Hollis from Open Source Web Design. That design, while valid CSS and XHTML, was a tangled mess of CSS and markup, so I rewrote it from the ground up in a more sane way. The end result looks about the same, but the underlying code is much nicer (if I may say so myself).

What the hell does 'minus zero' mean?

It's a part of a lyric from an Atreyu song, "You Eclipsed By Me". It doesn't really have any relevance to anything, I just thought it sounded kinda snazzy.
