phillsacre.me.uk

Hi. I’m Phill Sacre, the creator of this blog. You’ll probably have guessed it already from my cunning use of domain name (phill sacre.me.uk… that can’t just be a coincidence!)

Anyway, if you’re looking for information about me, you’ve come to the right place.

Personal Info

I don’t really want to do a full autobiography kind of thing, but this is the key info: I currently work as a software developer. I maintain another blog for my J2EE related advice and experiences. I am also a Christian – I attend Fordham Church (and maintain the website), and I sometimes blog about my experiences.

I have been married since June 2006 to Philippa (or Phil for short. Yes, we do have the same name).

I also enjoy music in a variety of forms – you can see more about my musical taste at my last.fm page. I also enjoy attempting to play the piano – to be honest I’m more of a “hit the right notes in roughly the right order” kind of guy, but it’s good fun. I’ve also just started learning to play the guitar – I’m enjoying it so far!

To be honest I’m not sure what else to say here, so I’ll leave it there for the time being!

Me on the Internet

Inspired by Zeth, I thought I would post up a list of websites which I am involved with.

General

• Phill’s J2EE Blog – this is my other blog for more J2EE-related posts
• StackOverflow.com – this is a question and answer site for programmers. I occasionally contribute questions / answers!
• last.fm profile
• Technorati Profile (while you’re there, why don’t you favourite my blog? Go on – you know you want to…)
• I do have a Facebook Profile which I don’t update very often, but I do check in quite frequently to see wall posts etc
• You can see my photos on my Flickr account
• I post occasionally to TheDailyWTF.

Christian / Religious Things

• I occasionally write articles for FocusOnFaith, a website run by a friend of mine.
• I maintain the Fordham Church website. I don’t really have much to do with the content (well, aside from updating the news) but if you have technical problems with the site, I’m your man!

Software Projects

• Facebook Photo Uploader. This is an open-source Java application which lets you edit photos (i.e. resize them and tag them) and upload them to Facebook. The project is open source (GPL license), I am the only contributor at the moment – if you are interested in contributing, particularly if you are good with making GUIs look good in Swing, please let me know!
• PHP Web Proxy. This is a PHP proxy (similar to the PHProxy script) which is open-source.

I will try to keep this list updated!
