Welcome

I am an Internet developer in England for Limitless Innovations. I've worked for my own Internet companies since 1995 and I was a software developer for ten years before that.

I have degrees in psychology and computing.

I have been on the 'net since 1988.

I also make and sell jewellery.

This site is a collection of creations, rants and raves.
