programming

I have always loved programming - its like Lego without gravity.

Basic on my ZX81 graduating to assembler and Turbo Pascal during my teens.

Developed phone OS software - engineer, architect, product manager - but got made irrelevant by the iPhone and redundant by Android.

These days I mostly work with data, big data and fitting big data onto small boxes.

Not a terribly bad likeness?  (My code made the top one ;)

Its the over 2000 thumbnails from Ludum Dare 28 (my game entry), placed greedily by MSE.  Here’s a little Python script I quickly knocked up.
