Until Tigran contacted me on behalf of RIATest - thanks to my rather eclectic educational background - when I thought of Armenia, I thought of its famous cataphracts, the ultra heavy cavalry who gave the Byzantines and others a run for their money at a time when many warriors in my neck of the woods still considered a coat of blue paint was appropriate battledress.

Imagine my surprise, then, to discover that many Armenians are nowadays happiest doing battle with complex programming challenges, in this case resulting in RIATest, a powerful tool for automatically testing Adobe Flex applications.

When I see products like this coming from formerly “obscure” corners of the world, I start to wonder how long it will be before we Brits start to feel like the naked guys daubed in woad again! The thing is, thanks to the Internet, physical distance is no longer a protection.

When I localised a press release and revised the documentation for RIATest, Tigran said:

You delivered good work which was essential for our website and documentation. The project went smoothly and I would not hesitate to recommend your services to others…

So, I can rest easy knowing that I’ve established cordial relations with our possible future overlords.
