Who am I?

Me - Andrew 'Flanny' Flannery

Well, I'm Andrew Flannery and I work in new media for losource, we make websites and e-commerce systems. I specialise in building modern, accessible, standards complient, usable websites using advanced CMS systems. I particularly enjoy writing jQuery plugins in javascript and Modx snippets in PHP. I'm also fairly interested in the Django python web framework and am getting into the Zend PHP web framework as a result of a recent need to customise Magento.

I'm interested in lots of other things, any of which could end up being covered here. It'll be a work in progress for a long time as I'm usually rather busy doing commercial work. In fact I expact it'll always be a work in progress. Anyway have fun and drop me a line if you fancy ;)

A Quote:

"Is, is, is — the idiocy of the word haunts me. If it were abolished, human thought might begin to make sense. I don't know what anything "is"; I only know how it seems to me at this moment"

- Robert Anton Wilson
