On Sabbatical
After twelve years as a software engineer, working on various audio and video systems, I decided to take a sabbatical. There were three updates on my blog: 1, 2 and 3. I also built a model railway.

DVD Software on Windows PCs
I returned to London in May 2000, after living in California for just over 3 years. While I was there I worked for Mediamatics (who became part of National Semiconductor while I was there) as a key developer on the DVDExpress team.

Masters degree, Imperial College
Before joining Mediamatics I was studying for my degree at Imperial College, where I graduated from the Department of Computing with a masters degree. I am now officially John McAleely, MEng (Hons), ACGI.
As part of my
degree I spent nine months working for Microsoft, as part of the ActiveMovie
team. The product went on to become DirectShow, and is now a
core part of Microsoft's multimedia architecture.
