My name is Ash Chuan and I write for this blog. I develop application software and I currently live in London, England. My interest in information technology began when I was given my first computer, the Apple IIe and started writing sofware in BASIC and never looked back. I have watched how technology evolved and improved over the years and I think we are living in extremely competitive and exciting times in this internet age. I use Google as my main search engine like almost everyone else and I have been programming using Microsoft toolsets for many years but I am also a great fan of open source software. I also run a forum together with this blog so feel free to look around and if you find it useful, join the forum and have your say.
