I've been meaning to write an #introduction post since joining a week ago, so here goes...
Hi, I'm Neil. I live in #Oxfordshire in the UK, and I've been into technology since about 1996 when I first learned how to program. Back then, I was using #AMOS on the #Amiga.
I moved to Windows next where I developed a fascination with IT management. I worked in education for a while, managing a network of 350 computers and 1300 users, dozens of printers, etc. I wrote software to make it all easier, and it was fantastic, and I loved that job.
Gradually, I moved into programming professionally, ruining it as a hobby. By this point (2011), I was using C#, ASP.NET and all that jazz. Since I didn't want to program in my spare time any more, I dabbled in music (grade 4 piano), and I write indie books.
As technology gradually #enshittified, I started getting into Linux finally, and that brings us to the present day. I'm still writing in C# and ASP.NET, but also C and a few other languages. I'm rediscovering my love of "IT" again.
Also, I have two #dogs.
