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
