Welcome to my updated website. I wasn't getting any time to work on this anymore (see later posts about my family!) so I've decide to turn the whole site into a web log. I first wrote a web log back in 2002/3 when Flavia and I were travelling around the world, its still a fun read and you can see it here. For my new blog I've picked the main topics I seem to spend most time doing and researching and I'll blog them as I find anything I think is interesting or useful. Ask me question (I'll post it to the blog) by mailing me.
These are the last 5 entries in the blog, to view the blog by topic follow a link below or the link next to any post.

I recently installed windows 8 beta at home and it look likes its going to be a nice and very different path to current Microsoft OS's. Basically its a tablet / phone OS on a PC, it is usable with a mouse still but at some point I think buying a new touch screen monitor will be a must, I cant see me getting a new PC period, so it will be just a monitor upgrade. I have been looking at getting a windows 7 tablet and doing an upgrade to windows 8 to try it out now, but despite being a long way being android and apple the windows 7 tablets are still too expensive. Note windows 8 beta will not install on ARM chips so you can't put it onto a cheap android tablet - maybe after release, because windows 8 will support ARM. |

Another squash season under way, and I played a full summer league too so started the season a bit fitter than usual. Still playing Oxford div 3 with Didcot first team, results here |

Fed up with contract phones, when contarcts are now typically 18-24, also iphones and windows phone 7 seem to be £400+ to buy so I've bought a cheap android phone (San Francisco from Orange - a badged ZTE blade v2.1 android phone), and just finshed rooting it and flashing it with a new custom rom (v2.2 android). It now works brilliantly, for nearly fifth price of an iphone! Useful resource here to help with the techy stuff. |
Thanks to everyone who has enquired, but I am currently working as an Internet / Intranet and E-commerce consultant / technical architect for a large European consultancy firm. I am not looking for a new job, but if you are an employer / recruitment agency and you think you have the "offer of a life-time" then check my CV for details of what I might respond to.
