The personal website of Chris Northwood
I'm Chris Northwood - often found online using the handle laser, or some variation of this. I also hold the radio callsign 2E0NTW, however I've been dormant for some time. I'm hoping to get back into radiosport soon, though.
I currently work for the BBC as a Graduate Software Engineer.
I've completed an MSc in Computer Science with Speech and Language Processing at The University of Sheffield, gaining a distinction. I also have gained a 2:1 for my undergraduate degree in BEng Computer Science at the University of York.
I've worked on multiple award-winning projects, including The Guardian's Student Media Award for Best Website whilst the technical lead on Nouse.co.uk, the UCISA Award for Excellence whilst lead developer on Mobile Oxford, as well as personally winning the Greg Dyke Award for Outstanding Achievement.
That rocks.
And it’s;

Well. You know what I mean.

You know, any image editing software, even IRfanview for crying out loud, can reduce the size of images.
What’s wrong with big pictures?
If it’s ‘cos you’re on a shitty Connection, that’s your fault.
I’m on 1mb. When an image can’t physically fit on the page anymore* its too big.
*At standard 1024×768 resolution.
I’m just going to blame my Mum’s camera, although I did reduce it from it’s original 3000+ resolution.
It fit nicely on my screen, and I always used that as a guide (as my screen at home is 1024×768, but this laptop’s is 1280)
And yes, if an image is too big to fit on the screen it’s too big.
Awesome, you have ‘coons in your garden!
