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.

ooSooM How I Use It and Why
23/12/09 14:14
During the development of ooSooM Version 2 I have been using ooSooM to organise my documents and files as well as manage and document its own development. Now that ooSooM 2 is stable and has been released I have bit the bullet, blown the dust off my Credit Card and upgraded my Dropbox account to 50Gb of storage. My strategy for my information, files and documents , basically my whole ‘digital life’, going forward is to simplify everything, whilst also increasing reliability and redundancy.
To achieve this I have started off by using ooSooM to store my Todo Tasks and Projects as well as store all my reference information. In addition to this, using the Attachment features of ooSooM version 2 I have also stored all my important images, documents, excel files, mp3 files and movies within ooSooM.
I then moved all my R10Office databases to my Dropbox folder. My customers, prospects, suppliers and all associated history are now all together in my Dropbox folder. I have upgraded my account for increased storage and activated the ‘Pack-Rat’ option, which effectively gives me unlimited document rollback.
The reason for choosing Dropbox is that Dropbox gives me a remote, synchronised backup of my information, folders and files. This allows me to use one of several computers (or my iPhone) to access my information, knowing that it will be synchronised and always available.
Dropbox works by uploading a copy of your designated Dropbox folder to the Dropbox server. This is done automatically and in the background. I have no connection with Dropbox other than as a satisfied customer and long time user of their free service.
The screenshots below give you an idea of the kind of information I am storing within ooSooM. Information that is now all safely (and automatically) backed up and synchronised for me without any effort on my part
ooSooM is available free of charge from Arten Science.
