Just quick hello to everyone, I've a couple of small all grain brews (1US Gal/4.5 Lts) under my belt, and I've paid up for membership today.

I'm looking forward to attending some of the meet-ups & possibly maybe even entering a competition one day.

Cheers.

Hi,

It's a bit complicated...France mainly, but I visit Dublin regularly. I'm Irish, moved here ~10 years ago. I'm in Blacrock (near the Dark Horse) quite a lot (at least once a month).

Hi,

Nope, I'm right down south, between the Black Mountains and the Pyrenees. Nearest "big" city is Toulouse (about an hours drive away).

Cheers.

Artist?

Hi johnrm,

Thanks, however I'm definitely NOT an artist  :D
I'm in the more down to earth software engineering space.

You've certainly blown me out of the water!
Any coding in php in there?

vonHolt

Yep, "internal" tools only though - your bog standard CRUD apps on a LAMP stack, but nothing to a level where I'd consider it professional enough to be at a comercial level of quality or security.
