About me

I live and work around Shoreditch, London. My obsession with making Internet stuff leads me to spend my days heading up the tech side at POKE. What you’re looking at is entirely my doing, though, and as you’ve probably guessed, in no way reflects POKE’s views on anything, at all, ever.

In addition to providing me with a soapbox, this site tracks what I’m up to online using feeds from Flickr, del.icio.us and others.

Done, and Gets Things Smart

Balloonacy

Balloonacy
After an intense last 10 days’ sprint spent finishing and polishing, we launched Balloonacy on Tuesday 24th with a grand total of over 30,000 balloons and 840 sites signed up and accepted into the race. Seems to be going really well; people are playing and writing nice things about it, the system’s holding up (captain), the client’s happy and, in short, we’ve made animal-shaped balloons float across Internet. Which is nice.

Cookies are for Closers: Oren Hurvitz’s Blog » LinkedIn Architecture

Discussion of LinkedIn's back-end architecture. Particularly interesting bit about in-memory data graph; also, apparently no ORM. Eh.
