Who Am I?

My name is Roger Lipscombe. I'm 32 years old, and I live in 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 2005/2008 and SQL Server 2005.

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 reasonable 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.
