Who?
I am Michael Fitzmaurice, a software engineer. I used to be member of the now defunct Talis Cohodo engineering team. Nowadays I run Kubuko Ltd, my own software engineering consultancy business.
What?
Techs-n-Effect is the place I talk about my technical interests, including the tools I use, (some of) the software I have created and maintained, the books, blogs and ideas that influence me, and anything technical that tickles my fancy.
Why “Techs-n-Effect”?
It’s a pretty corny play on words. Sorry about that. Which words? Well, there was a hip-hop/RnB group in the 90s called “Wreckx-n-Effect”.
Plus it was pretty much guaranteed to be a unique name on WordPress. Also, it’s a technical blog and, well, you try thinking up a pun around the word “tech” that isn’t just a cheap play on the word “sex” (“The Joy of Techs”, “Techs and the City”, etc.). See, not so easy, right?
