About me My name is Richard Sheppard, and I run Silicon Meadow and the Quadraman web sites. I’ve most recently taken on a full-time roll (yes, PAYE!) as Senior Systems Developer at Aroq Ltd, an Internet B2B publisher (www.just-auto.com, www.just-style.com, www.just-food.com, www.just-drinks.com). This subdomain (http://musings.quadraman.com) is a playground I’ve set up for myself using Tumblr to record quick thoughts I have through the day (or evenings). It also pulls in some of the other feeds from del.icio.us (which I maintain now via Diigo - much better interface than del.icio.us), and Twitter. I also use last.fm I am an enthusisastic and loyal Drupal developer, always wanting to improve my skills. I participated in Drupalcon Paris, as well as Drupaltown in Szeged, Hungary in August, 2008 and Drupalcon Barcelona in 2007. Perhaps we can meet up at Drupalcon San Francisco? Please feel free to comment on any posting here. You can also reach me via a variety of different social networking sites and messenging services, but you’ll have to make the effort to find me. If you are serious about contacting me for work, you can try my sites or you can reach me through LinkedIn.
