Well, what about me?! First off this is my website. Welcome! Nice of you to drop in.
I really don’t know why I’m blogging but I think it is because I want to learn how to communicate a little better in text. The other reason for me is to share some of the important/wonderful/curious/cool/geeky stuff out there with you.
For those who do find something interesting here and want to link/copy/steal something from here that usually isn’t a problem. Drop me a comment or an email so that I know. Please watch out for any other trademarks and copyrights that might apply.
As for myself I’m what my wife calls a daylight compatible geek. I think what she means is that I’m a geek and I’m still socially somewhat acceptable. I sincerely hope she’s right (well she did marry me….so it can’t be THAT bad). Well, what am I geeky about?
- Computers in general especially Macs and Ubuntu stuff
- Testing as that’s my job (more to that later)
- Photography
- Reading & Podcasts
- Much more stuff that changes as the day goes by
So those are generally the topics you can easily strike up a conversation with me. Things like “Quantum Mechanics related to Alcohol Consumption of Fruit-Flies” won’t really peek my interest (…with a topic like that it really only speaks to your character!). But don’t feel put off and do try to engage me with whatever topic you want. I do need to broaden my horizons on occasion.
My work is IT too. I am a Test Manager for a company called DATACOM. Short explanation what a tester is: “A tester is to a developer what a food critic is to a chef”. Most people can do something with that explanation. One of my specialities is performance testing. That again is like being what Clarkson (ref. TopGear) is for a Ferrari just for software. Sometimes it is even as exhilarating. 
More to come….
