Until Friday, I worked for Telsis, a telecommunications equipment manufacturer based on the south coast of England. I’d been getting itchy feet for some time, especially as my friends kept leaving to travel round the world (Darren is a good example of this — see Hev and Darren’s Global Adventure).

The upshot of this is that three months ago, I resigned to work for myself, writing software for Mac OS X; today is my first day, and I thought that, rather than working (oops, 100% deviation from plan already), I’d set-up a weblog using the excellent Movable Type.

Anyway, I am Alastair and here is my blog.
