I am a software developer at BBC R&D Prototyping.

From 1999 to 2008, I worked for ITN, where I built the Shotlister news video cataloguing application using the Qt framework.

I've also designed and coded lots of web sites, including ravenstoneschool.com and previous incarnations of itn.co.uk, yellowdiva.com, deccaclassics.com and smithgil.co.uk.

I am a governor at Ravenstone School in Balham, south London.

My blog since 2001 has been at samdutton.blogspot.com, but there's not much to see. I've also been trying out WordPress:

• Debugging signals and slots in Qt
• Eliza Lives!
• Treat Yourself Right
• Python is (not) better than C
• Worse than slow
• Wolfram Alpha: don't ask the wrong questions
• Snowpersons of Balham
• Why is Find & Replace so hard?

I have several Spotify playlists:

• bit.ly/quietMusic
• bit.ly/loudMusic
• bit.ly/danceMusic
• bit.ly/countryMusic
• bit.ly/hipHop
• bit.ly/rhythmAndBlues
