Self-confessed geek by day, super-geek by night, I live and breathe technology and computing. The loyal soul that I am, I’ve been with my current employer for 10 years, having earned my crust in a variety of roles. Right now, I’m a web engineer, but before the ink has dried on my nameplate, the next restructure will amble along and no doubt I’ll be printing out another one. Oh the joys of employment in the private sector!

My background is in web development – mainly PHP – but I have picked up a few other languages along the way (oh, and I have been known to dabble in French from time to time )

Besides my computer related activities, I’ve found that daylight and fresh air are the equivalent of defragging my hard drive and as a consequence, I try and get out of the house with sports and activities such as running, scuba diving, walking and canoe polo (though these days more as a spectator than a participator!).

	Post Captain
	Author: Patrick O’Brian
	Rating:
	The year is 1803, and that scalliwag Napoleon Bonaparte has gone to war again. For Captain Jack Aubrey, who has fled to France to escape his creditors, this is doubly alarming news. In short order the captain is interned, makes his escape across the French countryside, then leads a ship into battle. And again, his adventures are cleverly counterpointed by those of his alter ego Stephen Maturin. –Amazon.com
	The Ionian Mission

	The Letter of Marque
	Author: Patrick O’Brian
	Rating:
	When Jack Aubrey is unfairly deprived of his commission in the Royal Navy, Stephen Maturin comes to the rescue, purchasing the captain’s former ship and outfitting it as a privateer, to be commanded by none other than Jack Aubrey. Soon the Surprise is off to sea, on a mission that Aubrey hopes will redeem his good name. The author’s grasp of period detail is astonishing as ever–and so is his gift for pure entertainment.
