about me

I am Andrew Jenkins, erstwhile civil engineering student at Peterhouse (m. 2018). I was SRCF Secretary for the year 2021-22 and was chair of the Cambridge University Scout & Guide Club (CUSAGC) in 2020-21. Both the SRCF and CUSAGC are great (or at least they were when I graduated), you should check them out.

adj35 is my CRSid, and you can email me at <my CRSid> <at> cantab.ac.uk or <my CRSid> <at> srcf.net

programs I programmed

• Ever wondered what's for dinner at Peterhouse?
• How about a menu suitable for older browsers?
• What term is it again? and when does Full Term start and end?
• Tool to cut an annoying two-pages-per-sheet PDF into a one-page-per-sheet one
