For July 2009, I managed to snuff out something about ropes , a kind of heavier programming type than string. Apart from the pun/joke, it was an interesting article to research. I have no recollection any more about how I came across the rope type; presumably it was through a late night surfing session...

I'm Julian M Bucknall, the M because it's my middle initial and because I and the other Julian Bucknall (the movie guy) would like to differentiate ourselves.
I'm a programmer by trade, an actor by ambition, and an algorithms guy by osmosis. I write articles for PCPlus in my spare time, not that there's much of that.
Apart from that, an ex-pat Brit, atheist, microbrew enthusiast, Pet Shop Boys fanboy, slide rule and HP calculator collector, amateur photographer, Altoids muncher.
I'm Chief Technology Officer at Developer Express, a software company that writes some great controls and tools for .NET and Delphi. I'm responsible for the technology oversight and vision of the company.
