About me

Hi, I’m interested in most things related to the web; symantic, ajax, web development, mobile, etc. I’m also starting to create video tutorials so watch this space.

Read this post if you want a true reflection of my thoughts:

I tend to blog on anything that interests me; ranging from motorbikes to programming to video and photography. If you hunt around the categories, you may be lucky and find something that interests you – I don’t intend to write stuff that interests others, but things that interest me – and perhaps a sort of dumping ground for problems I’ve had and found solutions for…

My business – started in 1987 (yes that old!) microupdate.co.uk is a company that now specialises in “fixing things when they go wrong” online. You know that “WordPress white screen of death”, Error 500, goobledegook that suddenly appears over your website, emails that don’t go anywhere, etc.

If you are really interested pop over to https://www.microupdate.co.uk/ and have a look, drop me a line if you have a problem. If I’m feeling generous I will probably fix your problem for free. I’m older now and have time…

I regularly publish photos on Flickr and  YouTube. I’m a member of  linkedIn, facebook, twitter plus the usual million other social networking sites.

I’ve also started to look at some new technologies, you know that “AI” thing that is destroying the world – very quickly!

This blog is an eclectic mix of postings, and it’s supposed to be that way. It reflects the way I think and the ideas I have at the time.

My current projects include:

  • Restoring a 1972 Norton 750
  • Restoring a 1969 Morris Minor
  • Wet plate Collodion photography (Ambrotypes and TinTypes)
  • Rebuilding a Heidelberg Platen (Windmill)
  • Restoring various film cameras and mechanical watches
  • A list of things far to vast to list and probably will never finish…

The web gives us interesting times, certainly there is a lot of time wasted and spent surfing looking for ‘stuff’ – sometimes we get lucky and actually find content from the originators; I like to be an originator if I can.
