New job

5 November 2003

So the dot.com work came to an end (as dot.com work does), and yesterday I started work at a new place. I’m back in my natural habitat of a design agency, and working again with my old friend Mr Pitman, which is splendid. I won’t link to our website yet, as I’m about to start building a new one (the current site is pretty old and doesn’t do the company justice), so there’s something to look forward to.

On an unrelated note, today is Guy Fawkes night here in merry old England. There are fireworks going off everywhere – the sky is alight. Both Rachel and Mike are getting particularly grumpy about it all, which in itself is rather amusing.

About Drew McLellan

Photo of Drew McLellan

Drew McLellan has been hacking on the web since around 1996 following an unfortunate incident with a margarine tub. Since then he’s spread himself between both front- and back-end development projects, and now is Director and Senior Web Developer at edgeofmyseat.com in Maidenhead, UK (GEO: 51.5217, -0.7177). Prior to this, Drew was a Web Developer for Yahoo!, and before that primarily worked as a technical lead within design and branding agencies for clients such as Nissan, Goodyear Dunlop, Siemens/Bosch, Caburys, ICI Dulux and Virgin.net. Somewhere along the way, Drew managed to get himself embroiled with Dreamweaver and was made an early Macromedia Evangelist for that product. This lead to book deals, public appearances, fame, glory, and his eventual downfall.

Picking himself up again, Drew is now a strong advocate for best practises, and stood as Group Lead for The Web Standards Project 2006-08. He has had articles published by A List Apart, Adobe, and O’Reilly Media’s XML.com, mostly due to mistaken identity. Drew is a proponent of the lower-case semantic web, and is currently expending energies in the direction of the microformats movement, with particular interests in making parsers an off-the-shelf commodity and developing simple UI conventions. He writes here at all in the head and, with a little help from his friends, at 24 ways.
