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.

O2 takes a Christmas Break - and 3g coverage.

DateTuesday, December 22, 2009 at 12:30PM

The Register has an article on the latest O2 network breakdown here. And here is a interesting 3g coverage chart, showing that O2 has the worst 3g coverage, and finishes with the mysterious comment:

"In 2008, Ofcom warned O2 that if it didn't pull its finger out and improve its 3G coverage, it would take back its 3G licence early."

Interesting...
