This is Jon Warbrick's work home page. I work for the University's Adaptive Cities Project in the Department of Computer Science and Technology (a.k.a. The Computer Laboratory). Previously I was the Information Systems Manager in the Online Systems Division of University of Cambridge Information Services.

I can be contacted by mail as . I sometimes appear as @jw35 on Twitter and occasionally post to the "Indistinguishable from Magic" blog. Slides from talks that I've given can be found on slideshare, Prezi, and elsewhere on this site. I maintain a collection of more or less interesting bookmarks available as RSS from Pocket.

I sometimes have a PGP key (ID rsa4096/0xC38C877BEED6573B, fingerprint 8E9D 3713 58C3 7E8F 7964 9D21 C38C 877B EED6 573B, also available as text). Note that this is a new key as of June 2017 - please ignore any older keys found on keyservers.

Within the University of Cambridge, you can find out more about me from my lookup entry.

My Free/busy Information is generally available.

Beyond this there's a largely uncatalogued collection of other 'stuff':
