One thing you probably didn't know about me

Back in the mid to late 80’s I played bass in a variety of rock and blues bands. The first band I was in was called ‘Bodie and the Paper Doylies’ and I also played in a band called ‘Neon Radish’.

You’ll note that neither of these are household names. I’ve always been a better programmer than musician.

A story about me

I live in west London with my wonderful wife Isabelle and my two children, Alice and Sebastian (4 and 2 at the time of writing).

I run a small software development company and dream of being able to afford to buy a house.

You don’t often meet people who talk about the joy of programming, but Jeremy made an entire presentation out of it dConstruct06.

Why I want to meet John Resig

I’m impressed by the kind of thinking that he’s put into his jQuery library. It’s the first JavaScript library which has really led me to break out of my statically-typed Java/C++-style OO patterns and start to understand the nature of JavaScript and DOM programming.
