Computing Alumni

Hi all,

Thanks to the Alumni Office for telling me about this blog. I am Chuck Connell (1977s). I did my Div III on linguistics but settled into a computer career after graduating. My first job was at Data General, during the time that the book “Soul of a New Machine” was being written about it. (Although I did not work on that project.)

I now work as a solo consultant, mostly in the IBM Lotus space. I also recently published a book of essays titled “Beautiful Software” about general software design/quality issues. Here are the links to the printed book and the Kindle version:

Hi there – I introduced myself a couple months back, but I wanted to post an update saying that I officially launched my startup into an open beta last week. Tattle.com is the best place to share local business reviews and get recommendations from locals in real-time. If the idea piques anyone’s interest that knows Rails, Node.js, Android, iOS development or anything of the sort, give me a shout out at vn06 [at] hampshire [dot] edu. I’m thinking about hosting an intern in my apartment for the summer in Palo Alto to help give this thing wings. At the least, I’d love your feedback on what you like and what we could do better.
