into the real world

After the end of this academic year, I am taking a “year in industry” before returning for a final 2 years of study at The University of Manchester.

For the industrial year, I’ve been fortunate enough to find a position with a company building a product based on open-source. The product is not yet released and everything is being kept quiet, so I’ll have to spare the details for now. The company also contributes back to the community, which makes things even better.

The company is based in Boston, MA, and I’ll be moving out there for the duration. I can’t explain how excited I am about the whole thing. The company is nice and small and has a great working atmosphere, and the product will hit the market soon after I start in September.

Hopefully we’ll have published some marketing material at some point, so that people can gape in awe at the amazing technology :)

Chris, a good friend from back home, recently gave in to peer pressure and started a weblog. He is studying some form of art and was unlucky enough to end up somewhere in Wales where they have not yet invented residential internet services, but his work looks pretty damn cool!
