That’s me, the author of this here blog.
O’Really? is a lab notebook, diary, soapbox and blog written by me, Duncan Hull, based in the sunny People’s Republic of Manchester UK. 🌞
Who?
I’m a scientist, engineer and author of Coding Your Future: A Guidebook for Students (cdyf.me). Other stuff I’ve written can be found in the highlights and contents page of this blog which has been going since 2006. I make every reasonable effort to get the facts right, but if you spot any errors, please feel free to set me straight or give constructive feedback in the comments section or by email/twitter.
Currently I’m employed as a lecturer (≈ Assistant Professor) in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester, where I lead the Industrial Experience (IE) program and teach software engineering.

And finally, if you’re still reading this…
The name of this blog O’Really? describes the Question Everything style I’m aiming for while also paying homage to geek publisher O’Reilly (Media) and the O RLY? OWL pictured above right. I hope you enjoy reading these blog posts as much as I enjoy writing them and thanks for visiting.
