This is me at Xmas 1976, opening my very first iPad. It's an early model so it's quite primitive: no camera, can't play Flash videos, etc. But it only cost eight guineas so you couldn't complain. The pyjamas depict the Wombles, a lasting influence on my life and work.

I use Twitter for the same thing as most people: talking about things that aren't very important.

I like writing software. I answer (and occasionally ask) questions on Stack Overflow. Let's see how I'm doing.

Awesome! I also write a blog about programming called Smellegant Code.
