What am I?

I'm a technology consultant, focused on enterprise collaborative applications. I'm based in North-east Scotland but work all over Europe, and sometimes I present at technology conferences using a mixture of deep-technology and humour to keep the audience awake.

I'm married with one grown-up daughter of whom I'm immensely proud, and have family members covering most significant time-zones. We took 'hide and seek' seriously.

Other interests include making excuses not to go to the gym, testing the tolerance of my peers with humour, and sometimes bringing my 20-year old ZZR 600 out of the garage to terrify myself with.

I've been blogging since it was called 'Talking cr@p on the internet' and at one stage hand-rolled my own blog. Fame and fortune for this minor technological greatness is still 'in the post'.

Enjoy my little outpost on the web and take cheer that it could be worse - I could be a Silverlight consultant...

How to get in touch?

I have a mobile phone number which has been unchanged in 15 years. Most folks have that. Or you can try eMailing me - look at the domain name and take a good guess which will work. Most things will. I'm on Linked-In for the business stuff, Facebook for the personal stuff, and Skype for the face to face stuff. 

I'm a freelance consultant, and I'm engaged by enterprise or government customers. Most of the work I do I cannot speak about, so excuse my somewhat clumsy evasions.

My migration to squarespace is not yet complete

DateTuesday, December 1, 2009 at 6:22AM

I've migrated my blog to squarespace.com. Why?

I wanted to be able to blog without hauling out the notes client. I wanted to blog without fear that domino ods issues might bite me. And j wanted to stop worrying about running a domino server just ho host my blog.

Most importantly, I wanted a non-domino blog. 'If all you have is a hammer' and so forth.

So why squarespace? Well, it's very easy, pretty and matt White already wrote migration tools.

I'm still pushing content over, And most images don't work. Soon, I promise

You know I took soooo much schtik about having a MSN spaces blog.... Yet it has done what I wanted year in year out without me having to do a thing. In fact it's doing absolutely nothing as I haven't written a thing in it for months... But it's happy.

I hope it works out well for you Bill.

I will follow your progress on squarespace with great interest. I will shortly be starting a blog and am constantly receiving contradictory advice about where to host it!
