Allow myself to introduce... myself!
My name is Jason Ward and I'm a web developer working in the Developer Division at Microsoft.
Whilst my team maintains it's own blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/dditweb/, I thought it might be useful to maintain a separate blog for things I'm interested in or working on that might not necessarily be what I'm doing on a daily basis.
So who am I? We let's start off with 5 facts about me and I promise to tell you more in future posts.
1. I'm Australian, although sometimes that's hard to comprehend given that I haven't really been there for the last 10 years as I've been living in England since I was 21.
2. I found this job on a blog post, so who knows - if you're looking to work at Microsoft in the future then keep reading blogs!
3. I'm about to become a first time Dad! My wife is due any day now and I can't wait! We thought it best to keep the gender a surprise, so it's been difficult decorating the nursery and buying clothes when we don't know if it's a "him" or a "her" yet!
4. I love gadgets. But then again, what geek doesn't...
5. Traveling has always been one of my passions. So far I've been to over 60 countries and I hope to see a lot more in the future.
OK, I hope this has given you an insight into who I am, and I look forward to writing more posts in the near future.
Jason
PS - in case you don't know, the title of this post comes from Austin Powers. A very funny movie you have to see if you haven't already!
