A branch of the TrackTaste project I developed for my final year university project. This is a new project I started in 2009 which aims to make better use of the recommendation engine I built and will be linked in to sites like Spotify and Last.fm in order to gather listening data and recommend songs.

A music recommendation engine which was built for my final year Masters project. It combines the two main collaborative filtering methods (item-based and user-based) in order to try and get even better recommendations.

A custom built blogging and CMS used for this website. While I'm aware that there are many ready built solutions out there, I get a better sense of accomplishment if I do it myself, and it also helps to increase my PHP knowledge.

I'm constantly improving upon on with new features, and one day I'll probably release it as open source.. but only once I've commented the code a bit better. Read more...
