This post marks the official start of my blog and of my website.
My name is Ben Armston, I’m 31 years old and I live in the UK with my fiance and our two year old son. I work as a computer programmer writing a management appliance in Ruby. The primary interface to the appliance is web based, so I spend a lot of my time writing Ruby on Rails code.
This website will be dedicated to improving my online presence and providing me with a means to demonstrate my technical skills in designing and implementing a website. My posts will cover programming related topics, web page design, random rants and anything else which takes my fancy.
The random rants are various thoughts that have entered my head and are refusing to leave. I will post about them here in an effort to offload them into the head of some poor unsuspecting visitor.
One thought that worries me a lot is the state of the economy and my ability to pay my mortgage and provide for my family should my job be made redundant. I’m probably most marketable as a web developer, so expect this site to change a lot in the coming weeks as I use it demonstrate my über webdev skills .
