# Tom's Website ## Boring, generic about me crap This site is the homepage of Tomas Doran. As you may have noticed, he isn't a web designer. If you want to email me, then most addresses at this domain will work, see if you can think up a good one? If email is too crazy a way to contact me, or you're looking to stalk me, go right ahead - I'm on [Facecrack](http://www.facebook.com), [Twitter](http://twitter.com/bobtfish), [ohloh](http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/bobtfish) and [lfgss](http://www.londonfgss.com/) + [irc](irc://irc.perl.org) and [MSN](msn:/bobtfish@bobtfish.net/). Still here? Oh, then you must want to know something about me.. I'm just another one of those random geek clones really (albeit the 6'7 extra-tall with silly hair variety), and its not too interesting below here, so I apologise in advance. I'm currently working for some [Music Hippies](http://www.state51.com), doing [perl](http://www.perlmonks.org/) stuff, and, if you hadn't guessed already, I'm a big big geek. The other love of my life is riding bikes, but I'm not organised enough to link to images of my (humble) bike porn, sorry.. [Here is something interesting to distract you so you stop reading](http://www.howlongisyourchip.com/). ## Code stuff This entire site is a [subversion](http://subversion.tigris.org/) browser, and the actual repository is [here](http://www.bobtfish.net/svn/repos). You can also see [my CPAN directory](http://search.cpan.org/~bobtfish/). ### Markdown I maintain the [Text::Markdown](http://search.cpan.org/dist/Text-Markdown/) distribution of [John Gruber's](http://daringfireball.net/) [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) text to HTML translator. As you may have guessed, this website is written in markdown, and converted to HTML using this software.. ### Catalyst I'm a big fan of the [Catalyst](http://www.catalystframework.org/) web framework, and I maintain a number of extensions for it, including: * [Catalyst::Model::SVN](http://search.cpan.org/dist/Catalyst-Model-SVN) Allows you to use [subversion](http://subversion.tigris.org/) as a data store. * [Catalyst::Authentication::Store::Htpasswd](http://search.cpan.org/dist/Catalyst-Authentication-Store-Htpasswd) Allows you to authenticate users in Catalyst applications using apache .htpasswd files * [Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::HTTP](http://search.cpan.org/dist/Catalyst-Authentication-Credential-HTTP) Provides HTTP basic and digest authentication to Catalyst applications. This list appears to be a whole lot longer these days, but I'm not updating it - it was an accident ;P
