About

Well, to rip off a beer advertisement completely, who is Christopher Owen?

I’m part accident, part man. A total video game junky, book worm and connoisseur of the absurd. If there is something totally ridiculous to be said, chances are, I’ve said it already.

I currently work as a senior software engineer at Silverbrook Research.

In a previous career iteration I had the distinct pleasure of being a technical lead at Atlassian Software in Sydney, working as part of the Confluence wiki team. In ages past I was the webmaster and applications developer at the CSIRO, Australia Telescope National Facility. Yes, I even got to use an array of six radio telescopes – and I didn’t damage a thing. Much.

This blog is chiefly an outlet for me on topics such as politics, science, technology, software engineering and video games. It may even at times be funny; I won’t make any guarantees as to which type of funny though.

Welcome to my stream of consciousness and enjoy your stay.
