I am a software engineer.
I live in the UK and currently work for DeviantArt.
This blog lets me vent some of the tech junk that is always on my mind. If it does nothing else
I consider it a courtesey to my wife.
You should note the date on anything you read here. There are things written here in the past that I leave for historical purposes rather than because they remain accurate or even consistent with my current opinions.
In case it's not obvious, this is my personal blog. The views expressed on these pages are mine alone and not those of my employer.
Google recenetly open-sourced LevelDB which is "a fast key-value storage library". I've used it as an excuse to play about in C++.
There is nothing new or exciting to report to the tech world here - just that I've enjoyed playing about in a language I've not worked much with in the past.
So far I have hooked up libevent to LevelDB and made my own little Key-Value database server that can accept multiple clients.
I've also written a C++ client library to talk to it and made up my own Ascii-based data transfer format.
None of this is useful to anyone other than me - it's great to actually play around with a language like this and to get a feel for it. Much more productive that code tutorials or algorithm exercises.
