Bill Moorier

I was born in the UK and studied there, at the University of Nottingham, for a PhD in Mathematics. I moved to California in 2003, and I'm now VP of Software Development at justin.tv, where we are trying to do for live video what youtube did for pre-recorded video. You might be interested in reading my blog.

Some things I like:

Computing: I taught myself programming when I was nine years old on a ZX81, and I've been making computers do fun things ever since. I'm a big fan of Lisp, and once embedded a Scheme interpreter in the Linux kernel (why not?). I've also written a search engine for Lisp documentation, and a multiplayer crossword game. I've written a ton of software at justin.tv, including a highly scalable chat system.
Photography, rock-climbing, kayaking, and playing the guitar.
Listening lots of music - most recently Daft Punk, Boards of Canada, Plaid, Orbital, Prokofiev, Aphex Twin and Philip Glass.
In my spare time I'm building a robotic xylophone, and working on a new web site called punksnap.

Interesting links:

Paul Graham writes some excellent essays.
Adam Beguelin writes a good blog about hackers and technology.
Jimmy Moore has an awesome new chat site.
TwitVid is a great new web site for sharing videos on Twitter.

My family name was Bland, until July 2008, when I got married - my wife and I both decided to change our names to Moorier.
