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.

The mosaic is made (sourcecode) from the screenshots from Ludum Dare 29, to the theme “Beneath the Surface”.  The green turtle is from wikipedia.
