I'm Tim Scarfe; a Computer Scientist living near Windsor. I'm working on my Ph.D and my active research is in Machine Learning (Kernel Ridge Regression and Kernel Methods, 
Prediction with Expert Advice, Support Vector Machines, Digital Signal Processing, Mathematical Finance). I also own a small portfolio of companies (3) in the IT sector; software services, trade mark registration and data visualisation. The largest of which is (was, I sold most of my shareholding now) Dot Net Solutions which is a services company that specialises in integration and delivery of bespoke business middleware using Microsoft technology and an Agile management approach. 

Music-wise I love electronic dance music; (check my Last.FM account). I also love squash, gymnastics, mountain biking, dogs and keeping fit!

Liveset Cuesheet Editor/Creator This afternoon I wrote an application to quickly create a cuesheet when you have the underlying DJ set (or media) and a copy of the tracklist. Amazingly there is no easy way of doing this at the moment without unbelievable grief. (July 30th 2009) 

New DHTML dev-x front page I was playing around with a potential new DHTML front-end to my site kinda reminiscent of the stuff I used to do with DHTML nearly 10 years ago! (July 29th 2009)
