About oceanician

Just another software guy really, though I like working in teams & quietish offices.

Seem to come up with ideas all the time, but like to collaborate on them.

What's your idea? Maybe we can swap coding time & get some ideas out there?

Me=RoR(current), Groovy on Grails (1yr), RoR(8+ yrs), PHP 1.5 years, Java(4.5 years), C++ (1 year) etc etc etc

Look fwd to hearing from you: http://twitter.com/alterisian

Also available for Ruby On Rails work: http://alter.is
