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.

Watchdog

BBC Watchdog - the leading UK consumer program - has been contacted:

Myself and a number of colleagues were moved to an office in Southwark Street, SE1. We found when we got there that O2 coverage was broken. Signal was good - the base station was just across the street - but bandwidth was broken.

Over 50 of us have complained to O2, escalated, and I finally presented a petition to O2's CEO. Nothing has been done.

O2 appears to have huge difficulty dealing with its network.

And the news today that Tesco will be selling iPhones and using the O2 network means that another huge number of customers will be trying to use O2's broken network.

OFCOM cannot help. Can you ?
