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.
I've just got back (well technically not back yet) from my first trip to LA to meet my co-workers in person!
I really enjoyed it. The hospitality, food and party was great but actually I also really valued being able to talk work face-to-face with my colleagues for the first time. Such subtleties such as facial expression and body language have given me a much clearer idea of what people are like and how they are likely to respond. I'm sure it will make future online discussion significantly easier.
So there isn't much to say here other than I had a great time.
