About me

I'm Nick Murdoch, one of those human things people seem to be so excited about these days (1984 class).

Oh, that's not enough text, you say? Very well, then.

What am I; from Nob Hill?

I'm a Python programmer by profession, although I also dabble in C/C++ when the need or burning desire arises. I currently work for a company in London that has developed a search and merchandising platform. I do the back-end search stuff for it, and I'm also the main developer for a certain price comparison shopping site.

In my personal life, I enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, and cycling. I like the Oxford comma for the sake of sentences like that one. I'd still be a fan of Star Wars if it was still going, and my Futurama insanity is laying dormant until the reincarnated series comes out.

Other miscellaneous facts about me include that: I live in Dartford (UK); I read the Guardian; I run ion3 on Debian Linux; my favourite singer is Nerina Pallot; and my favourite author is Douglas Adams.

YOU READ IT; YOU CAN'T UNREAD IT.

This site was written in Python using the Turbogears 1 web framework. These days if I were starting from scratch I'd probably use Pylons, or try out Django since it's apparently the hottest thing since my oven caught fire.

Here's my CV, if you're curious.
