Joseph Myers

• Information on contacting me.
• Software I maintain: GCC, EGLIBC and C standards development, bsd-games, nppt.
• My publications and preprints.
• My mathematics.
• I have been involved in some manner in Mathematical Olympiad activities since 1992.
  • I am the current maintainer of the web site for the British Mathematical Olympiad Subtrust (BMOS) and Committee (BMOC).
  • I maintain the UK IMO Register, a listing of the details of past UK team members in the International Mathematical Olympiad (including both Cambridge’s 1998 Fields Medalists).
  • Also provided here are some past IMO scores data.
• Although no longer a student I keep some minor more or less active rôles in some Cambridge student societies:
  • I am Eureka Online Editor for the Archimedeans (Cambridge University Mathematical Society); the first parts of Eureka Online are available.
  • I am also Archivist for the Archimedeans, and old versions of the Constitution, Standing Orders and Procedures are available.
  • I am a member of CUAS (Cambridge University Astronomical Society); I have never held any office in that society but occasionally use the telescopes and have made available here information on the history of the Northumberland Telescope.
  • I’ve done a fair amount of work on the CUCPS (Cambridge University Computer Preservation Society) web site, in particular the information about TITAN.
• Historical information on British Summer Time.
• As part of my interest in computer history, I have also made available here the standard ECMA-10—ECMA standard for Data Interchange on Punched Tape. The standards organisation ECMA produce computer-related standards that are freely available both online and in printed form (even a complete set of current printed ECMA standards is free); unfortunately they cannot supply copies of obsolete standards such as this one, but since their standards are not copyright it can be distributed here. Many ECMA standards are essentially identical to expensive ISO ones; there are several ISO standards for punched paper tape (numbers 1113, 1154, 1729, 2195 and 3692) but I have not checked their equivalence to this one.
