Hi everyone, my name is Ryan Townsend. I am a Ruby on Rails web developer / designer based in Manchester, UK. I got to know this site through Neil, who I’ve come to know through my Rails screencast blog ThinkRefresh. You can find me on Twitter @RyanTownsend.
I have been working as a web developer for 5 years in a small ICT company, and we are currently developing numerous web applications. The first is RadiateCMS, not to be confused with Radiant, we have an e-commerce system in the works, and a project nicknamed ‘The Hub’ which is basically a set of apps which manage information flow and communication within a business. Apologies for the self advertising, but I just wanted to let people know what I am up to.
Finally, I am working on a few apps of my own, so I’ll post info on them as things become set in stone.
I would have liked to comment on various things written here, but I am yet to finish reading them all, so you’ll be hearing from me in the future 
Edit: by the way I study Internet Computing at Manchester University. My last year is 2009, and for my final year project (Sept 08 - June 09) I will be producing a social E-commerce engine.
