Welcome to my web site. Not a huge site, but feel free to browse....

I work for a Anglo-Swedish company called Consignit as a consultant. One of our specialisms is document management systems and I work closely with a system called Documentum. Most of the time I spend designing and building software to solve horrible problems integrating disparate systems together.

I run a very sparse blog here. I decided to use WordPress as it seemed pretty comprehensive and because it wasn't a MS solution - I hope to have a good poke around the innards soon and see how php works.

Currently I live in Greater Manchester, and have done since 1997 when I went to the university to study physics. Before that I lived for many years in the rural Bedfordshire village of Cranfield and attended Wootton Upper School.

I'm quite interested in development methodologies and techniques.

Beer, I like beer - can't drink as much as I used to, but I do enjoy a good pint of real ale or a decent lager. Some of my mates and I occasionally spend a weekend sampling the ales and pubs of selected parts of the UK. Some web pages detailing these exploits are long overdue and err, well, I suppose I could volunteer.....[don't hold your breath]. (Actually there is a first draft here)

One of my interests is meterology and I run an automatic weather station in my back garden. Eventually I will get the thing posting near real-time data onto this site so I can see what the temperature is chez moi from anywhere in the world (why? dunno).

I will confess here to being interested in politics.
