Who Am I?
I am Simon and this is essentially the blog of a confused little boy trying to find his way in the big bad world of the online.
I am very much a jack of all trades, grasping an idea and getting a feel for it before being distracted by butterflies and pursuing a completely different course.
This has its advantages in that I have an opinion on pretty much everything and also its disadvantages, in that I have an opinion on everything. This blog would probably be better titled, "confessions of a computer whore".
The title
I chose breakfastdinnertea as the blog's name because it is a topic which I feel particularly passionate about. People have been throwing around trash terms such as "lunch" and eating their dinner 6 hours too late for far too long now - this is my way of a protest.
My Skillz
My spare time is mostly spent conjuring up some mad Pyth0n SKRIPTZ. I use it on the web (with Django) and to make Ubuntu do some cool tricks.
I am interested in making disparate systems come together and work in ways which make life easier for us. This can be in terms of computing, work or life in general.
This Blog
In my pursuits of the nerdy variety, I sometimes find myself getting lost in the sea of information or stuck pissing about with APIs. All it generally takes for me to "get" something is a solid example but I sometimes find there to be a slight dearth in that regard. If I could put an ounce of stuff out there that helps somebody - a small annotated code snippet, a hella-useful workflow tip - then I could feel like something had been done to make up for all of those snails I crushed as a child, and the balance of life will have been restored.
