About Me

Hi there, you found me, let me welcome you to my Web Site.

I live & work on the South Coast of England which can be very nice but also at times quite crowded with lots of distractions.

I work from home so I can hear the waves breaking on the seashore from my office.

The work that I do is Computer Help & Advice for the Smaller Business offering help to small companies and sole traders who require help with either computer related problems or management overwork.

I have worked with computers for more years than I care to remember which means in excess of twenty five years so as things go I have seen most problems with Computers.

Some funny, some silly and some down right tough to solve.

I travel wherever needed provided that travel expenses are covered.

I can help with computer software & hardware selection, setup & tuition including most of the modern word processors / spreadsheets / databases.

Also I do annual software & hardware check-ups.

I am a single person with one daughter also able to do mundane things like washing, ironing, hoovering and dusting. Although like most people not chores I enjoy but can do.

As you can see below I work with computers for my work but also I enjoy working with computers for my play. I have worked in engineering companies and computer companies for over 35 years so you can gather that I admit to being over 50. I have been lucky that, but for a 6 year stint, I have been in positions of management for all of my working life. Recently I have started working for myself, working from home, offering help, advice & services for people/small businesses with use, setup, applications uses, and Internet information, business services such as book-keeping, technical drawing, production database design & spreadsheet design.

I have a degree from Portsmouth Polytechnic, England. The subject of the degree is "Engineering With Business Studies" which was, what they called at the time, a "thick sandwich" course as you spent the third year of your four year course gaining work experience in an industrial establishment. Of 23 people who were registered for the degree on the first day only 5 of us got a pass.

I am also Fellow of the Institution of Analyst and Programmers. This organization is for Computer Analysis and Programmers offering a more practical and less technical/theoretical ideals.

I’ve worked with computers since before there was IBM Desktops. (1972)

The first computer programme I wrote was in the mid-seventies and on punched cards, taking about 12 hours to run.

Computers have got quicker!!!
