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.

My Two New Favourite Business Books
It's important to keep learning, to achieve that it is necessary to be, amongst other things, an avid reader. If you intend to read a lot of non-fiction books it is important that the quality and tone of the writing is easily digestible and that the experience is as pleasurable as possible.
Of the books I have recently read (mainly Marketing or Programming related) there are two that stand out and will be afforded pride of place in my collection.
These books are:
Title: The Startup Success Guide
Author: Bob Walsh
Title: Inbound Marketing
Authors: Brian Halligan & Dharmesh Shah
I could waffle on for ages about how good these books are, how much I learned from them and how indispensable they are to anyone who wants to grow their tech business in the next few years, but I won’t. Just buy them both. Today.
