One would have thought that “drop names” indicates names other than one’s one. :)

No, that’s fine. I could have sworn I had a little blurb about recommending yourself being okay in the post.

I’ve already received a good amount of requests. I’m going to take on a few, see what happens, and then open it up again. Please keep the recommendations coming though. I might have to backlog some of these at some point but I’ll definitely get in touch.

Thanks everyone!

I have been inspired in the past year or so to start my own soapbox on the web, and was working toward it, until the day when I stumbled upon this community. I think what you guys are doing here is incredibly encouraging, and I would really feel honored if you would include me into the fold, and allow me to be the contributor to this awesome meeting place.

My background: five years in scientific research (started in 1985 on complex systems modeling), followed by 15 years of software development. I’ve been through it all — FORTRAN, Pascal, C, Smalltalk, C++, VB, Java, ERP, J2EE, EAI, SOA, .NET, and finally (thankfully:-) Ruby and Rails.

To me, software development is at its very core a social skill. The reason it’s in such a mess right now is because the majority of developers have fairly rudimentary social skills to begin with. That needs to change if we are to see any overall improvement.

I am hoping that you will offer me a chance to post one trial article, to see how it goes. I am very passionate about software, and would hate to see all these efforts dilluted and fragmented, or wasted on places such at the Serverside etc.

Best regards,

Alex

I've been reading your stuff for a few weeks now, and nodding my head in agreement/laughing my coffee up the wall at inappropriate places - and I think you have caught the zeitgeist - for css, ror, ajax etc. I might have the odd thought to add here and there. I have a background in writing (Columns, Features &#38; Reviews) for MacUser UK, and MacWorld UK, but I'm no longer a company man, and work by myself as a small consultancy... just a thought.</p> Hi, not sure if you’re in the market for a hasbeen Brit?

To give you some idea of my background, I’m a third year undergraduate studying mathematics, and I’m currently an intern at Google, in the intranet engineering group. I’ve been working with web technologies for 5 years, and have delved into such things as Python, AJAX, PHP and MySQL.

I haven’t blogged extensively, but I think I’m a good writer.
