Cool Things You've Done (Brag Thread)
buro9: * I fixed a Brit Award for Best Newcomer in 1998 (Belle and Sebastian) using social engineering* I built the consumer site for BTopenworld almost single-handedly in 6 weeks (CMS and portal from scratch in TCL), it was live for 7 years before being replaced* Recently enjoyed a 97.5% mark on an MSc assignment* Survived living on the streets for more than 2 winters (when you live on the street, you count winters and not years)* Every code I've ever written outside of education has gone live somewhere... I first learned to code by making a stock control system for a small company and knew computers should be good at that stuff* I taught myself TCL, PERL, Java, C#, C++, JavaScript, and am currently enjoying a foray into Clojure.* I've met Paul McCartney, hung out with Blur, Elastica, Pulp and Oasis... partied several years of my life away in a blur* I've created a data warehouse for semi-structured data from ECM systemsThis list is not necessarily in chronological order. I absolutely am missing stuff but the bullets above fill me with joy of some kind. I haven't done the thing I want most to do, which is to work with some great minds on some complex problems, but this is why I'm doing an MSc so late, I want to knock on Google's door.
