This web site is called ongoing and is written by me, Tim Bray.
Lots more detail about me is available from any good Web search engine and my Wikipedia entry isn’t bad. Also I’m on Flickr, Twitter, and Google+.
Affiliations · As the disclaimer on the front page says, the opinions expressed here are my own, usually nobody sees them before they’re published, and neither my employer nor any other party necessarily agree with them. Having said that, I think it’s important that readers know who pays the person who’s writing what they’re reading. Here’s my recent employment history:
Since March of 2010, I’ve been an employee of Google.
Between March of 2004 and February of 2010 I was an employee of Sun Microsystems.
Between early 2000 and late 2003 I was an employee of Antarctica Systems.
I have equity interests in these technology companies: Technorati and Make Technologies.
Contact · If you want to email me, my address has been displayed on the front page of the XML Specification ever since 1997 and probably will be until I’m in my grave. Also, at google.com, I’m “twbray”. I read both email streams; you might want to choose one of those addresses depending how Googley the subject-matter is.
If you write me, and what you write me is interesting, I may decide to publish it in ongoing. This has two consequences: first of all, if you don’t want what you write published, say so. Second, if I do publish an incoming email, it’s nice to include a web pointer for the person who wrote it. If you don’t provide one, I’ll guess & google around a bit to turn something up; it would be much better if you included one in your email.
Photos · One or two who know me allege that the image above is not a very good likeness. I picked it because it corresponds well with my self image; but I’ve added two more. The first is by my dear wife Lauren Wood, the second is a portrait of me by my son, then 4½, the first picture I ever saw him try to draw of anything; I was touched. He’s being kind as I don’t actually have much more than a bit of fuzz on top of my head.
