Thank you to Phil Chandler for interviewing me for and offering me a job at Optichrome, back in 1998. I’d been out of work for a period, living in my mother’s spare room with Elena when I applied for this job. This job really was the springboard into a full IT career for me, I learned about Windows NT and Solaris here, but also started touching on Linux (even though it was nothing at all to do with my job). I also had fun playing with web development, and discovered the fun (and pain) of working with InstallShield, and Windows Installer. Anyway, without this job I’d not be where I am today. Thanks Phil.
