Offmessage

This blog is maintained by Andy Theyers, a technologist based in York, UK. I’m one of the directors and founders of Isotoma, a software development company that is frankly rather good at what it does. You should probably hire us.

I have two lovely daughters and a set of unhealthy obsessions that mostly revolve around cricket, rugby, tomatoes, curry, Python and Javascript.

I started this blog a long time ago now, mainly as an experiment in PHP. The advent of del.icio.us removed its primary purpose (a place to dump links), while the advent of ‘proper’ blogging software (like Wordpress) removed its secondary purpose (a place to practice programming before I returned to it as a living).

Still, I appear to be addicted to posting, hence the continuing content.

For the historians out there this is version 4 of Offmessage, versions 1 to 3 being cobbled together PHP, MySQL and hideously uncompliant HTML and CSS. I’m hoping this version is a lot better. I know a lot better now, which helps…

It’s certainly prettier, which, as anyone who knows me will testify, is more important than the content in my book…
