Nostuff.org is the domain of me, Chris Keene. I live in Brighton, East Sussex UK. Hello
Work
I’m the Technical Development Manager at the University of Sussex Library, which means I play with web and technology stuff.
Libraries are all about how to discover relevant stuff and providing access to information . Both of these things are now very much online and web based (though apparently we still have books, must check them out). The former – finding and discovering the right information – via catalogues, protocols and sharing data, and latter – accessing information – in online journals, databases, digitalisation, e-books and websites . Along side this is a desire to see academic research, data and metadata being as open and reusable as possible, which means things like Open Access and the semantic web are quite exciting.
Me
Originally from Northampton, studied (not enough) Computer Science at The University of Kent (at Canterbury).
I’m rather fond of real ale, wine, whiskey, music, comedy, technology, the web, web apps, wikipedia (read too much of it), The Economist, and have a passing interest in Architecture (99% is crap), maps and civil engineering (you can’t choose what interests you, I’m not proud ok?)

Nostuff.org
Content-free since 2002. nostuff.org was originally a set of static webpages and mainly a place to put all my old websites I had created (Geocities, University personal space, ISP… if someone gave me web space, I created badly written content). Originally hosted by Freedom2surf, now hosted by Dreamhost (I recommend them, and if you follow that link you should get $50 off).
Bored on edited text files and uploading via FTP, in 2009 I moved all static pages, including this one to a Content Management System. The system which was quick to use and had all the features I required was WordPress, which I also use for the blog. I recommend it. Bits also use Drupal.
