OK Now That I Have Got Your Attention To Look Inside :smiley:

This Topic Is Basically an “Introduce Yourself” Post aimed at seeing who is active in the community and interacting and who are just Lurkers (people who just sit & watch & read) to come and say “Hi”

So Leave a Little Post Below and say “Who You Are” and what you enjoy just so other community members can feel comfortable here.

We are all Real People After Better Broadband & Other Things While This Cuckoo Journey Starts so lets Shape This Community Like No Other Company Has !!

Connected and satisfied

I like this! But perhaps a change of title to “Introduce Yourself Here” might be better? We can then get this sent to everyone new who joins the community?

Okay, I’ll bite and go first.

Hello, I’m David :wave:t3: I work for a technology company called Automattic, who own WordPress.com, amongst other things. My job is as a Support Engineer - think a cross between a developer and customer support - for WordPress VIP (think WordPress websites for big enterprise companies like New York Post, Facebook and The Sun). The company is entirely remote - it has no offices - and I work from home (so this lockdown malarky hasn’t affected me too much). So, for me, my internet connection is important (and why you’ll find me here asking awkward questions to Alex about using my own hardware, etc.).

As is pretty much the norm for anyone involved in technology, I like my gadgets. I also enjoy a good film too.

I live in Nottingham with my wife (who’s a teaching assistant), youngest daughter and 2 cats. My eldest is all grown up and lives with her fiancee, both of whom are comic-book artists.

@Alex Chemical reactions and keeping humans in order is both biological and chemical (biochemistry) so you are using it by running a company and keeping the team in order even though you dont realise it…just dont create that Cuckoo shaped eggsplosive to put near other isp’s offices that hatches little gremlins to disrupt there network and bringing there customers over to Cuckoo !!

Hey :wave:t2: I’m Jack, based up in Leeds!

I work in the social & community team at Monzo, which essentially means I send out gifs a lot!

Love anything to do with data, politics and social media, studying an MA in social media & social research :bar_chart:

I’m really interested to see how Cuckoo takes on the old broadband industry!
