Hi! I'm Alastair Irvine and I am an Australian software developer and Linux fan. (Proud Debian user since 2005.)

My open source work centres around command-line utilities. Many of the small ones are in my 'scripts' repo, because even though they're small, some (like my Git/Subversion wrapper "Smooth") are powerful but don't need their own repo. Another good example are my Quick Archive/Extract utilities (qa & qe).

Other projects are highlighted below, but check out my repositories for all of them.

I also submit pull requests to various projects like 'smalot/pdfparser' (PHP), for which I have a proof of concept working to allow it to read encrypted files.

I'm also designing a P2P "smart digital assistant", more news on that soon...
