Trendy Furrow is a dead good weblog. Sean is a VBScript/ASP guy, which will get him nothing but brickbats rather than bouquets from a pretty reasonable proportion of the tech weblogger community (and me on bad or hypocritical days), but I do ASP stuff all day (Python stuff all night). Not only can I sympathise with his struggles with MSXML and the like, he certainly has the hacker nature (he’s ported Textile to VBScript, which I was just abot to do myself for a project here at work, for a start: this is not the act of some MS-obsessed droid), his writing creases me up in places (“I fucking hate XML schemas. That was a waste of a few hours I could have spent punching myself in the face”), he’s Irish, and I think he lives pretty close to me (I’m really close to the border with Warwickshire). Added to blogroll and RSS subscriptions. It’s always nice to discover new people.
Discovering new people
I'm currently available for hire, to help you plan, architect, and build new systems, and for technical writing
and articles. You can take a look at some projects I've worked on and
some of my writing. If you'd like to talk about your upcoming project,
do get in touch.
