Hello there. This is the website of Philip "LionsPhil" Boulain, where you can find a variety of academic distractions, free software, discordian ramblings, and general stuff.
I'm a PhD student at, as you may have guessed from the address, the University of Southampton, in the IAM group. Ever the optimist, I keep trying to make computers somehow useful.
My research area is looking at the development of the web, and how we can apply the decades of past hypertext research still not yet realised to help improve it. At present, I am focused on semantic wikis, and how they can be evolved into full open hypermedia systems.
