I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator, Technology Specialist and Professional, working as a 2nd Line Engineer for System Force I.T. in Gloucestershire.
Working in a close-knit team of support engineers providing desktop, server & telecoms support to clients, their staff, their customers, and their I.T. departments, this role is a mixture of helpdesk, workshop, on-site, remote support and website development.
I have grown up with computers, and I have grown up with Microsoft Windows, having supported users from version 3.1 all the way to the present day with Windows 7, and Small Business Server 2011.
My experience is drawn from helping with I.T. while at school, work experience for a local "one man band" business, then exclusively contracted to a multi-national repairing EPoS, Printers, Laptops, Desktops & Servers throughout North-West England, to working as an IT & Telecoms Engineer installing & supporting client-server networks, PABX systems, and network cabling for an I.T. Services Provider based in West Cumbria.
Back in the days when an Apple Mac was monochrome (or switched off) and the average PC was still running DOS, I was happily dabbling with 4096 colours, a pre-emptive multi-tasking operating system, scripting languages, machine code, open source software and diy hardware hacks: Amiga
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with one of my various Hobbies
I setup LD50.co.uk in 2005, with the aim of promoting local Cumbrian bands.
Mostly funded from my pocket, the LD50.co.uk has generated some revenue from Google Adsense & Amazon Affiliates,
but I wonder how the forthcoming "cookie-law" is going to affect the revenue-generation schemes that rely on cookies.
