A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. - Jargon File
“The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.” - Arnold Toynbee
I have been designing and developing computer software solutions for over 20 years. I am a Chartered IT Professional awarded by the British Computer Society and a Fellow of the Institution of Analysts and Programmers.
Currently I run my own Software Development and Computer Consultancy company. In addition I also run Arten Books which provides new and used discount books through the Amazon Marketplace.
I am a Motorcycle fan, an avid reader of sci-fi, fantasy, history, thrillers and technical books, a guitar player, a traveller and a father.
In addition I have a special interest in ancient cultures, their technologies and beliefs, such as the Egyptians, the Aztecs, the Greeks and the Romans.
In September 2009 one of my products R10Cipher: Email, Text and File Security, was shortlisted as a Finalist for the 2009 Information Security Product of the Year award.

An Hour In The Lanes ...

Disaster Strikes, Epic Adventure Aborted
Helmet - Check, Goggles - Check, Big Chunky MX Boots - Check, Bumbag with map - Check.
All ready and prepared for a hardcore epic off-road adventure in the wilderness miles from civilisation and home to all kinds of dangers.
*Reality Check: Actually 50 miles or so of gentle green laning in the Derbyshire Peak District
Fearing for my life and wondering what fate had in store for me, but brave enough to continue anyway, I adjusted my googles and mounted my trusty steed.
Which is when the rear suspension collapsed down to the stop.
Being only 5 days old and with 62 miles on the clock the Kawasaki RAC people came out to have a look (thumbs up - 20 minutes!) and declared it would need to go into the dealer for a new shock under warranty. That destroys todays plans 
It’s been said that I carry a few extra pounds, but surely not enough to destroy the rear shock of a trail bike just by sitting on it ! I just hope they get it sorted soon.
Updates to follow ...
