Who am I?
About me, huh? Well, I’m Andrew Dalgleish, a 27 year old software engineer living in Edinburgh, Scotland.
I like lots of things and thought I might do some blogging about them. Stuff I like doing:
- Orienteering
- Running
- Programming
- Drinking Coffee
I work full time as a Software Engineer for Incito Ltd. This is mainly web development for the financial sector working with Java, JSP, MySQL, html, css. I do a lot of projects on my own, which I really enjoy as I get the freedom to work my own way and get things done how I want to do them. We have a sister business called SoldierNET which I do some work for (insatlling firewalls, configuring kit etc), as well as handling the odd support call.
I also work on a consultancy basis for SPORTident UK which involves organising the timing systems for various sporting events throughout the World (well I have been to continental Europe for an event).
As a volunteer I do a lot of work for Orienteering in Scotland, mostly now for my home club, ESOC. For ESOC I am currently the Club Captain and webmaster. I’m also heavily involved a Park World Tour event we’re putting on in Perth this September, dealing with entries and timing.
I keep a training diary in an attempt to not get fat and lazy, for this I use the wonderful Attackpoint, you can find my diary there. It’s a site built by and aimed at orienteers but you could use it for pretty much any sporting activity.
I realise I have used the word ‘I’ a lot on this page. Well, it’s about me, so duh. Also, I’m not the most grammatically precise person ever, so you’ll just have to live with it
