Graceful Exits

My name is J-P Stacey.

History

I have worked as, variously, coder, experimental physicist, metal-worker, electronic publisher, furniture mover, office grunt and kitchen staff. In my spare time I write short stories and syndicated book reviews, sing and play guitar in a band, and I used to write and perform comedy. I’ve built lasers and made Harry Enfield laugh, but on separate occasions.

Present

I am currently senior developer at Torchbox, who design websites for the third sector (effectively charities). I build and maintain a number of sites and applications, many of which utilise (at least in part) our own CMS called RationalMedia. Among the technologies I am familiar with are (in order of most used first): Coldfusion, SQL (Postgres and Transact-), XML/XSL, Javascript, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Python, and a tiny amount of Java.

Location

jps or me at this particular domain—jpstacey.info—should reach me eventually. Being an early-adopter of Gmail, I can be contacted at jp.stacey on that very service, although I don’t check it all that often.

Output

My book reviews are syndicated by ReadReverb, my creative writing syndicated by nobody at all, and I’ve had some music reviews published on DogmaNet, although differences in editorial style (they had none) have forced a rift sufficiently minor in the history of histrionics to be quite possibly unnoticed by one of the two parties in the ex-partnership.

Miscellaneous

My personal website is available, for die-hard J-P Stacey fans who can’t bear to live without the information presented therein. Apart from anything else, it houses my DPhil thesis.
