Emily Boyd

Sydney, Australia

Hi there. I make stuff on the Interwebs. I occasionally tweet and take photos, too.

Current

I'm co-founder and designer at Remember The Milk.
I work with an awesome team of people, plus one stuffed monkey named Bob.
I live in Sydney, Australia. Thanks to my weird accent, I'm regularly asked if I'm American. I'm Australian, I swear!

Past

At 16, I learnt enough Perl to develop MatMice, a webpage builder used by almost 2 million kids (sadly, now closed).
I love open source software: I designed the websites for PostgreSQL, FreeBSD, The FreeBSD Foundation, and tinysofa.
I attended Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts for a year.
