Who?

Hi, I’m Andy. I live and work in Tamworth, near Birmingham (pretty much our only claim to fame is an indoor real-snow ski slope). You could say I’m obsessed with computers and you’d probably be right. My current focus is on web development and lately I’m particularly keen on good design and simplicity.

I probably drink too much coffee and don’t do as much exercise as I should.

Projects

Listed below are my current and past projects that I have worked on and released for public consumption.

• TextMate TYPO3 Bundle (now available in the Macromates subversion repository)
• TextMate Snipplr Bundle - I wrote this to provide a quicker way to access Snipplr using its API through TextMate mainly as a way to learn some Ruby so it includes my Ruby wrapper to Snipplr (now superseded by a new Snipplr bundle from Snipplr directly)
• ma.gnolia Search Widget - A little Mac OS X Dashboard widget I wrote for accessing my ma.gnolia bookmarks.
