Who Am I?
My name is Roger Lipscombe. I'm 34 years old, and I live in West London. I work for 1E Ltd, in Ealing, West London. I've been at 1E since September 2004.
I went to University at Warwick University, between 1994 and 1997, studying Computer Science.
I've been programming since I can remember (my dad bought a Sinclair ZX81 shortly after it came out). I'm currently working (and playing) in C++, C# and T-SQL, using Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008.
Along the way, I've done a bit of QuickBasic and QuickC for DOS, a lot of C and C++ for Windows (from real mode Windows 3.0 to Windows ME, and from Windows NT 3.51 to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008), a reasonable slice of C/C++ programming on Linux, learnt (and mostly forgotten) a selection of assembly language dialects, and more recently dabbled with PHP, Python and Ruby.
I've been an avid snowboarder since 2002. I ride regular, and I'm currently on a K2 Nemesis with Flow bindings.
I've been married to Jenni since June 2006. Our first child, Charles Albert Lipscombe ("Charlie"), was born in May 2008. We're expecting our second child in March 2010.
