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.

A busy day

DateFriday, November 27, 2009 at 5:54PM

Today I officially launched the O2 protest blog. I submitted 10 complaints to a number of press, business and commercial bodies, copying O2 in on many of the cases. I have received responses back from T3 and Tescos already, but received nothing whatsoever from O2. Whilst this does not surprise me in the slightest, it does rather disappoint me.

I shall continue on Monday, finding more press and regulatory bodies to press this case towards.

I've been asked to set up some sort of 'add me in' guest book in order that you can add your voice to this too. I may also come up with a 'mobile deadband' google map so you too can highlight where O2's mobile broadband network is less than satisfactory.  These things might happen.

I thank you all for sticking with this and look forward to any and all ideas you have to press for decent coverage, decent bandwidth and decent customer service. You know, the sort we're already paying for.
