About Me

I am Hugh Powell (hugoagogo) and am currently in senior high school in Australia. I have been programming things for a few years and have been building stuff for much longer than that.

I am very interested in programming projects with either a real world use or a real world output (e.g. my arduino projects). Recently i have been enjoying basic photography and photoshop projects, particularly panoramas.

My current projects are:

• A python task system using Google app engine (similar to the NCSS one for those of you who have participated in that competition)
• A statistics program to analysis GPS data from skiing

Some projects i have completed are:

• A 3D scanner
• An 600 megapixel photo
• A program to generate stats from chat-logs
• A message management System for our schools daily information sheet

And here are some projects i would like to work on

• A game of some sort, possibly super multiplayer/multilayer pong
