Greg Baker

Well, I'm touched you're interested enough in me to visit my web page, which may be close to the oldest and least updated page on the web. It still renders correctly in Mosaic.

Mostly I blog on blog.ifost.org.au rather than keeping this up-to-date. You can follow me on twitter (@gregory_d_baker) which is a robofeed of quora and that blog. I'm Greg Baker on LinkedIn, GregBaker-ifost on Google+, Greg-Baker-9 on Quora, and pretty much inactive on any other social media platform.

I'm the same Greg Baker who was at CSIRO Radiophysics (email: [email protected], website: http://www.rp.csiro.au/~gbaker) -- but those addresses aren't valid any more. I was also [email protected], website http://www.aptec.net.au/~greg. When I was a lazy PhD student, I was also [email protected] and [email protected], with a web site http://www.ics.mq.edu.au/~gregb. When I was at Google, I was [email protected].

I'm not the same Greg Baker who did courageous things during the Korean war (I wasn't old enough!), although if you know any more about him, I'd be interested to know. I'm also not the same Greg Baker who's a professional musician in Adelaide. This is confusing, because I do occasionally write & play music for profit! I don't have a PhD in mathematics from California Institute of Technology like this guy. And I'm not Gregory James Baker who was working at google while I was there (who went to University of Arizona). Nor the Greg Baker who worked at Parliament while I was there, or the one who went through Duntroon in the early 80s.

Here is my meaningless collection of links and pages:

Very silly poetry
Equally silly stories
One of my better compositions and plenty of very mediocre recordings which are mostly backing tracks.
The Solresol revival project. (SolReSol is a language in which all words are just sequences of musical notes).
The PROBABLE pages - predictions of the future!
The Q-gol page - quantum computers!
Programs/libraries that I have written.
Academic and scholarly things that I have done.
My Ideas Bakery
Something I found reasonably moving.
Search engine of resources in Australia supporting people with disabilities
A travelogue for some work I did in Vanuatu in 2009
A travelogue for some work I did in PNG in 2009
I wrote a submission to the House of Representatives inquiry into broadband wireless. This is my Mesh proposal. Please let me know what you think of it. [src]
I reprised it in a National Infrastructure proposal. Since it's just a legislation change, I submitted it with my proposal for fixing up a quirk of Australian taxation law to do with public transport tickets. Two Cheap Proposals -- Suggestions for Transport and Telecommunications Legislation Changes
My wish list for HP ~~OpenView Operations~~ Software Operations from 2007. Actually, I think it's a reasonable set of nice-to-have features in any large-scale systems management product. Speaking of which, here is my Custom search engine for OpenView (HP Software) resources.
My thoughts on theology, evolution, free will and the interaction between Christianity and science
I wrote a long boring document called 21st Century Schools in Developing Nations – Distance, Technological Change and Resourcing Using Hajj Funds or Other Non-Traditional Investors which completely failed to make any impact on anyone or anything.
I liked the words for the old hymn "Take My Life and Let it Be", but of all the melodies for it I couldn't find one I liked. So I wrote my own melody and chords manuscript for for Take My Life.
Some notes I made on funding for high-tech startup firms in Australia. Spoiler: 100% self-funding appears to be the only practical option.
The most bizarre paper I've written (so far): Computation in a Universe with Time Travel Looks Very Quantum-ish
My daughter (born in 2002) has started creating web sites for schoolwork (such as her Year 3 plants assignment), or together with one of her friends for fun created (Funny Fruit Series).
