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.

Kindle is now up for preorder at amazon in the UK (27th August). I nearly bought one when it was released in US but I wasn’t reading much then (too little sleep to read), but now I on the train most days I am reading a lot more so have preordered a Kindle as an early birthday present. Looking forward to seeing how these work, will also be useful in Brazil to save on carrying a load of book with me, well maybe still one or two for the beach! |

It’s been a quiet year technology wise - I let Flavia take the phone upgrade this year (a Sony camera phone), so I am still using my HTC touchdiamond and no new computer or AV upgrades either – although Flavia has just got a netbook! I have just bought a pair of wireless stereo headphones though for listening to TV / Films late at night when everyone else is in bed, what an improvement this is, sound is really good and I can turn it up enough to hear what’s going on, without waking up any babies! |

Well the summer squash season has just finished, and after a slow start DC1 ended up third (from 8) and I ended up playing number 1. Not my favourite position (too many very good players at one) but I did alright winning 3 from 5 at one. Winter season starts again after just 4 / 5 week break! I am going to try and just keep playing to avoid preseason training! |

DLC 1sts managed to stay up in div 3 for next winter season, but it went to the last match. Because I basically missed the first half of the season I have now carried on into summer league, our team and the opposition is pretty much the same, just some of the courts are a lot hotter! Its the first time I have played in the summer since my first couple of seasons in teh late '80s, so the extar bounce is taking some getting used. I'm sure it will make me a better player, certainly a fitter one anyway! |

After our move down south last summer and a season off squash (no time with the birth of the twins) I have now started playing for Didcot LC in the Oxford squash league, currently for their first team in Div 3. I last played Oxford league in 94/95 for Challow Country club and before that for my first club Regent SC, it’s been quite a few years away but I still am recognising the odd player.

Thanks to everyone who has enquired, but I am currently working as an Internet / Intranet and E-commerce consultant / developer 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.
