The site
The Redpoint Network was setup a number of years ago as a computer/internet based site, it collapsed due to a lack of activity. A year later it was restarted by the original founder Aled, and Nick. The site is under construction as we aim to get a layout and system built for the site, however, we will be trying to add new content as time goes on.
The site runs a PHP backend with simple HTML and CSS frontend. The database backend is MySQL, and the data and analysing tools have been built using Python.
The network
Currently in design and planning stages the network has yet to be created or developed. It will however run a UNIX based operating system, and the programs behind it will either be developed in PHP, Python or Java.
The creators
Aled / Skyrail
I'm Aled, and I'm the programmer behind the Redpoint Network. I've been working with PHP for just under 2 years and more recently Python in the past 10-12 months, and I enjoy developing small systems using one or both of the languages. I use Fedora 9 and have experience with Debian based systems as well.
Besides programming I enjoy photography and walking to sumplement it. I have interests in nuclear and renewable energies, a varied music taste, a thirst for knowledge and a large collection of Smarties tubes.
Nick / Frog3D
I'm the network type person in Redpoint Network. I much prefer working with hardware then software so I know a lot about installing and maintaining systems, but I also know a fair amount about Server 2003/2008 and have some experience with Debian based systems such as Ubuntu. I also have experience with fibre and telephone systems.
I also have an intrest in cars, both old and new. I wish to own a '68 Ford Mustang fastback. I do a decent amount of photography, and can often be found on my quad bike. I have an eclectic music collection which can be found here.
