I have a number of work interests and projects:
The day job is IS Manager but I'm also trying to develop a number of
other projects.
NSPi
NSPi is a small software company. We have produced the Top
of the Class report creation software for schools and have a number of other
projects in the pipeline. These have been held up due to contracts
for bespoke software.
NakedChassis
There are two main threads to NakedChassis:
(1) Multimedia CD-ROM design and development. Most of our
work is for the specialist motor industry but we have also done work
for people from other fields. We do web design (don't worry,
I don't do it - we have specialists for the web work), multimedia brochures,
manuals, publicity, corporate CD-ROMs etc
(2) We are in the process of developing the definitive on-line magazine
for all motor enthusiasts. This is a major project intended to provide
the motor enthusiast with a portal to resources all over the world. At the
moment there is a transition site up while we develop the main site
K-Now International
is a Knowledge Management consultancy which furthers my research interests
in KM. We are three consultants:
(1) I am a Community of Practice and Contextual Design specialist
(2) Jose specialises in the development of web based Artificial Intelligence
KM solutions. He is based in Portugal.
(3) Victor specialises in innovative teamwork systems. He is based
in California.
At the moment I am busy working on a couple of books for publication in
2003
SecuriQuest
I find this project exciting, too. We are distributors for
the protector card, an innovative piece of computer hardware which,
in case of a crash, restores the system to a stable state at the push
of a button. This piece of kit will drastically reduce IT Support
overhead and toubleshooting. I was very sceptical when I read what
it could do - then I bought one to test. I installed it on a dual boot
machine and then deleted files, messed up the registry, and totally deleted
one of the two operating systems. Each time, the system came up flawlessly
on re-boot. What really clinched it was when I booted from floppy,
formatted the hard drive, went into fdisk and deleted all the partitions.
Again, when I re-booted, the system came straight back up again. Impressive
or what !!
