Ditto Blog

Posted tagged with 'introducing'

  1. Hello from James

    Despite my various attempts to remain anonymous I have finally relented and posted my first entry onto the Ditto blog.

    I have worked on the ditto team since the coding began way back in May 2007 and looking back we have come a long way since those heady days of powerpoint slides and empty databases.

    My role on the team varies from munging our entertainment data, through programming various parts of the site to looking after our production servers.

    So, if you visit Ditto and see the “Oops! We are down for maintenance, is there any other kind?” page, that is my fault because I will have taken the site down to deploy the latest version of Ditto. Hopefully your initial frustration is soon replaced by euphoria for that missing feature being added that you’ve always wanted! Although, I probably won’t be able to take the credit because all of the exciting stuff is developed by Pat, Mike, or Oli :)

  2. Allow me to introduce myself…

    Well, I think we’ve known each other for long enough now for me to introduce myself. My name is John, and I’m nominally in charge of all the community and content stuff on Ditto at the moment. The good bits, anyway. All the rest is someone else’s fault.

    My background is in magazine writing; pop music for Smash Hits, sport for Zoo, and loads of other rubbish for loads of people. The last magazine I worked on only lasted two days, so for me at least, Ditto is already a resounding success.

    I’ll be badgering the rest of the team, some of whom you may have met already, to introduce themselves as well - though you can always check out their Ditto profiles (see the links at the end of posts) to get a scarily accurate snapshot of their taste. (Best you don’t look at Pat’s. Pat’s just… odd.)

    See you round,

    John
