About

My name is Annie Luxton and I’m a Software Engineer. Developer. Programmer. Scripter. Geek?

A little history on me. I was born in Rome, Italy and have lived in Rome (Italy) , Lima (Peru), Mexico City (Mexico) and Wellington (NZ) since then. I finished high school in Wellington and proceeded to go straight to University. In 2002, I completed a Bachelor of Science majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. I stuck it out at university for one more year and completed a BSc with Honours in Computer Science in 2003. Since then I’ve held down two full time jobs, a GIS Software Engineer role at Critchlow Ltd and a Web Developer role at Trade Me, both in Wellington, New Zealand. I am now looking for a new job in Brisbane, Australia – hopefully in the mining industry!!

Anyway… this blog is intended to be a place for me to put down some of my ideas and blog about bits of code that I have found useful or interesting. I spend so much time on my laptop that my mother thinks it’s become a piece of my body. Nah but really, I enjoy discovering new ways of coding cool new things and the web seems to be full of just that.

Please feel free to comment on anything in this blog! :)
