I’ve decided to write again a blog after some time. First, because I want to talk about technical computer things, specially Python, which is a programming language that I really like.I think that writing about it, as well as (hopefully) get some feedback on other fellow programmers can be good, even if someone prove I’m wrong and learn something. Well, maybe that’s the most scary, but probably more useful part…
But, without a doubt, the main motivator is moving to a new job position on Ireland. I’d like to write about new adventures!
The blog is written both in Spanish and in English. Maybe I’ll get a little schizophrenic after a while. But my initial idea is to write more personal-related issues in Spanish, as it’s my first language, and technical-related posts in English. Also, I want to force myself into writing in English, so I can improve (or at least, practice). I’ve included a link with a RSS feed with only the English posts. You can subscribe here, the same link is available with other links on the main page.
Why is it called “Wrong side of Memphis”?
Mainly for historical reasons. About 5 years ago, I was writing a blog with the same name, mostly composed from posts about music. The name comes from a Trisha Yearwood song. I though to name the new blog with a brand new name, but I like this one and I had the space on WordPress.com, so it stays…
What is my job?
Me at work using new cool tech. Dramatisation.
I am a software developer at DemonWare. I am currently using technologies like Python, Django, or MySQL.
Before that I was making games at Jolt Online Gaming, where I used cool technologies like MongoDB, Pylons or Amazon Web Services.
Another related things I’m interested: NoSQL databases, Agile methodologies, Open Software, Linux (and Ubuntu in particular) and more general subjects as software projects management, productivity and personal branding.
I also collaborate with the Python Ireland group, attending to the talks and even giving some myself!
And out of work?
I love music and playing the guitar. I have recovered some of my old posts about the subject (in Spanish)
Since some time on, I’ve been a fan of some TV series, but with the move to a different country I have been distracted and I’m not up to date at the moment.
I love boardgames, and I don’t consider myself a hardcore gamer I play casual videogames, though. And I use to play a lot of games some time ago.
I also like a lot of things you’ll typically expect on a nerd: comic books, Star Trek, Star Wars… I cannot surprise anyone on that respect!
Heh, I like Trisha Yearwood too!
