About


Who am I?
My name is David Lowry, I am a 2008 graduate of Queen’s University Belfast with a degree in Computer Science. I try not to let that define me too much. I’m an occasionally enthusiastic guitarist and love my Gibson Songwriter Deluxe acoustic, almost but not quite my PRS SE and Fender Deluxe amp can sound quite sweet, just need to develop my electric ’skills’. I am a committed Christian and am involved in my church through worship ministry where I lead the band each week. It’s my hope that that aspect, central to my life, will be apparent through my attitude in work and life in general.

What’s this site for?
Well, I set up a web design company with my friend Rob a few years ago as a side project while we worked through our respective degrees in University. It brought us both some experience of working with clients, businesses, printing and hosting companies as well as accountants and the tax man!
Now that we’ve graduated I’ve taken on the name Infinity21 that we used together and aim to ground it my web design brand as part of my endeavours in the years ahead.
This site however is my personal site where I’ll post things I learn, things I’m involved in and… anything else. This site’s not for you, it’s for me.

Goals
I have previously stated that I have three goals for life:

  • Loop 100m of VGA cable without kinks
  • Have a room in the house I build with a la-z-boy chair, good sound system and nothing else
  • Not work 9-5

The first relates to my nurtured idiosyncrasy which makes perfect sense but to non-technical types seems completely irrelevant. Winding a cable correctly makes it last longer, easier to store, and most importantly: easier to unravel afterwards. I’m not quite there yet, but did get a 50 metre fairly neat a few weeks ago…
Next shows that I aspire to be blessed with the ability to some day build a house for my family (and so to have a family…) and there’s not much I like more than quality music through a quality system. Except Sweet Chilli Sauce.
And finally not working 9-5 makes it sound like I might be a bit of a waster, but the real meaning behind the statement is that I wish to be self employed, and able to work to a schedule that works best, not tied to the ‘corporate machine’ as such.
