I spent forever at university, eventually being awarded a Doctorate in Philosophy. Specifically my thesis concerned an empiricist interpretation of the modal structures of our accepted scientific theories, and an account of the rationality of inductive inference based on such an interpretation.
In January 2006 I began building Noumenal Software. We started out doing web based database systems using PHP and Zend Framework. These days we focus on knowledge processing systems (search engines, data mining, recommendation engines and such—check out our services…). By choice it’s all Python (and Django).
I’m having a lot of fun at the moment with nginx, Google App Engine and CouchDB.
I've always used one so, it was inevitable that I would begin developing for the Mac. Then, of course, it was the iPhone. Now it’s the iPad.
I've not yet bought the wireless router but, I have to admit to loving all things Apple. I think iOS is a game changer—by a long measure, it is as close to being Jean-Luc Picard as I am currently able to get.
By night I like cooking, yoga and philosophy. (Probably in that order.)
