About Me

I work in technology and system support at Octagon Technology, where I am the Chief Information and Security Officer. The company is based in Lincoln – the original one in the UK. However this blog and the opinions are my own and nothing to do with the company.

In 2021 I graduated from Edinburgh Napier University with a Masters Degree in cybersecurity – Advanced Security & Digital Forensics MSc (napier.ac.uk). As a result of that Diana and I started a new branch of Octagon Technology concentrating on delivering board level cyber security services, which aligns business goals with the right level of security  – including a cybersecurity news site Smart Thinking Solutions.

I have always been interested in mobile computing and have had a wide range of PDAs and smartphones over the years. When I was practising and getting fit for the Coast to Coast walk, in 2007, I got a bluetooth GPS receiver to pair with my Dell PDA and Memory Maps for navigation. Because I had the Kit with me (the Dell PDA linked to my Blackberry for internet access) I decided to blog the walk as it happened. That was a success the results are here (see more about that walk here).

This blog was a result of that decision.

There is plenty of camping, walking and technology but the blog now is primarily my vehicle for my Photo of the Day project.
