– Ponderings & code by Drew McLellan –
– Live from The Internets since 2003 –
AboutI don’t know what it’s like near you, but here on the outskirts of London it’s hot, hot, hot. The sort of hot that’s fantastic if you’re on holiday and have nothing to do but enjoy the weather and relax, but when you’re cooped up behind a desk in an office with a broken air conditioning system it’s not so much fun.
There are supposed to be storms tomorrow. Summer storms are even better than sunshine.
At edgeofmyseat.com we build custom content management systems, ecommerce solutions and develop web apps.
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, Cadburys, 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.

Not happy.
(not so much fun in the depths of winter though!)
