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.

There's a Map for That.

Over in the US. Verizon is claiming to have better 3g coverage than AT&T - the only iPhone carrier in the US. AT&T sued Verizon, and the case just got thrown out. Guess what. Verizon does have better 3g coverage than AT&T.

Wonder when Orange/T-Moble and/or 3 will make the same claims against O2 ?

And AT&T has now produced an iPhone App to track how bad/good their network is . . . . . if only O2 would do the same? http://bit.ly/5NFTP6

Actually the AT&T suit against Verizon alleged that viewers of the ad were come away thinking that Verizon cell coverage was better than AT&T's, which it is not. The problem for AT&T was that message of the commercial was clear - Verizon's 3G coverage in the US is three times larger than AT&T's, which is true.
