About

I’m a twenty-something, software developer from Sussex, England.
I’ve been writing software for over a decade for both the desktop and web environments.

When I’m not bashing away at the keyboard, I’m probably doing something cadet related, having been a member of the Air Training Corps since I was thirteen. In 2003 I moved from being a cadet to a member of staff. Currently I hold the rank of Sergeant and spend my tuesday and thursday evenings attempting to instill some discipline and knowledge into a group of teenagers. I enjoy shooting and am a qualified Range Conducting Officer and Weapon Instructor.

In the small amount of time leftover between keyboard bashing and cadets, I’ll probably be doing one of the following:

Code Complete 2,Tom Sawyer, Earthsea Quartet, Peopleware, No Logo, The God Delusion.

This Site

This site is home to my various musings and software projects.

It’s hosted using WordPress on a custom-built server within the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud.

The WordPress installation itself uses a custom theme and includes a few hacks and tweaks of my own to get things just the way I want them.
