About me

I live in Dorset in the south of England, 200 yards from the beach. I earn my living by travelling the countryside fixing and installing office equipment and PCs.

I live in a 200 year old stone cottage with a wife, a lodger and four cats and I enjoy playing music on my guitars, harmonicas, trumpet, trombone, mandolin and bagpipes.

I read a lot, I am a part time freelance author and have a regular column on Techrepublic.com.
