It's been a while...

Two and a half weeks off - I'm sure bvi was almost ready to berate me. I've been in one of my career existential crisis moods, and have been playing games to try keep me going relatively successfully. Work at Jam has been going well, where I've been learning to love Eclipse, which makes Java pleasurable. On the other hand, my experience with Visual Studio makes me wonder what drugs people who swear by it are on. I'll catch up on my Linux Professional's Association news in a bit.

Hi, I'm Neil Blakey-Milner, a technology generalist most interested by open source, security, and building scalable systems (especially if I get to use the Python programming language).

I "work" at the incredibly fun web-sites-for-everyone startup SynthaSite based in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.

What I do

  • StarCamp

    I was the main instigator behind this 2-day unconference in December 2007 in Cape Town. There'll be another one in Cape Town around July.

  • GeekDinner

    I help out in making these geek social events happen every two months in Cape Town since March 2007.

  • SynthaSite

    I make sure that the systems run smoothly at this Cape Town-born Web 2.0 startup.

  • Presentations

    I speak publically on a number of topics - generally related to technical aspects of open source software or on software development.

  • Code

    I've written a few software projects of my own over the years (although mostly I'm the only user of them).

  • Photos

    I'm far from an artist, but I enjoy capturing my experiences on camera.
