In 1982 during the Falklands War my Father in a letter home, whilst serving on board the Hermes , suggested that we buy for me a ZX81 ( we spent forever trying to decipher 2×81 ). My Father created in me a passion for maths, technical problems and getting things done. Many years later and a involvement in the Linux and Open Source community ( due in part to the encouragemnt of Andrew Hollingsworth and Damien (Murff ) Murphy ) leads me to now being a strong supporter and proponent of free and open source software today .

I have a broad range of experience matched with an understanding of the core technologies that drive modern online business interactions. This experience covers the basic systems from networks to operating system to e-commerce, search engine and Social network optimisation and Communities.

I write for OReillyGMT, Social Set and Loudmouthman where I provide advice, opinions and ideas which benefit my clients and create new opportunities. I also take part in or produce a number of Video podcasts such as OldGreyVideoTest, Twittervox and Kyte.TV[Loudmouthman]

I am known as a reliable source of advice and direction for businesses engaged in growth or new projects via the internet.

My Goal is to provide an introduction to the successful application of Social Networking tools in Business.

Im 30 something ( as of 2001 ) Married with one Daughter.
