My last area of endeavour at AT&T was on the Augmented Vehicles project, where we were designing more intelligent in-car systems to try and make time spent on the move more productive, safe, educational and enjoyable.

One of the ideas we explored was context-sensitive phone management...

VNC is a system for sending graphics over networks, and it's used mainly as a way to control one computer desktop from another one.

I worked on VNC for a couple of years, writing the original Windows and Windows CE viewers, and the first Windows VNC server.

I started the Broadband Phone project in early 1999, with Andy Fisher. That was great fun! It was fast-moving, became high-profile within AT&T, and got lots of attention. People like gadgets.
