Hi - welcome to my personal Website. Here you can learn all kinds of fascinating stuff about me, my life, my family, my friends, and other stuff that you're just dying to know. Hover your mouse over the links on the left to see what's there, then click to go to the relevant page.

Alternatively, if you don't find me and my world absolutely fascinating, I suppose you could always go somewhere else...

Me

All about myself, your host. This is where I get to lie boast a bit...

Fun

Some wacky things to entertain you (I hope). Featuring "Engine of the week", some awful spellings I've seen in greengrocers' shops (and elsewhere), and other jollities.

Photos

I got a little Ricoh digital camera a couple of years ago, so here is a selection of pictures I've taken with it. Note that pix of my family are on the "Family" pages.

Music

Ah - the biggy. Probably more stuff here than anywhere else on my site. Some of my own music to download (in MP3 format, natch), plus all sorts of other groovy stuff. Eventually.

Life

Mine, that is. A potted history of what's happened to me these fourty-odd years with a few reflections added as and when I can be bothered.

Family

Photos and information about my family and friends (I know it doesn't say "friends" but there wasn't room on the little button graphic. Stop complaining).

News

Two things here; what's happened to me recently and what's new with the site.

Room 101

My own personal hates. Nuff said.

Work

What I do for a living (tech authoring). Right now I'm unemployed, having taken voluntary redundancy from GE Healthcare after 2.5 years working in the London implementation of the National Programme for IT (NPfIT) for the NHS.

Before that I was working for Mobile Innovation alongside many of the people that I used to work with at Symbian and, before that, Psion. I've been there, on and off on three different contracts, for about 18 months now. Before that I was with Categoric, for roughly the same amount of time, and before that Symbian and Psion.

Links

Well, what do you think is here? Just some links to other sites I like, or use a lot, or just happen to have put up for no real reason. Wotever.

Albums

A little bit of fun - my fabulous "album cover quiz", as made famous on the Symbian Intranet. 16 classic (I reckon) albums shown in thumbnail and with their titles & artists removed. Nobody ever got them all right so I've got rid of the quiz bit and now this site features my thoughts and reflections on each of them.

Desert Island Everythings

The stuff I'd take to a desert island.
