And so it begins...

I've just finished watching the first season of Babylon 5. I started watching on the 11th, which means almost two weeks to do the 22 episodes. I was pretty good initially - an episode a day, but weekends and the story made that hard to do forever. I've ordered the second season - still whole days until that arrives - probably only Wednesday. I'm not sure what I'm going to do!

I treated myself to the first season of Babylon 5, with the plan to watch the whole series again. I've just watched the first episode (I'm trying to pace myself). The show has aged well - it isn't as cheesy as I feared it might be (I might need to wait a while), and the the production quality is much better than I thought - probably because I watched first Babylon 5 on pretty poor reception on television. I'm really looking forward to watching the episodes both in order and without missing any.

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.
