At the time of writing I'm just getting my feet under the table at MetaCert as an advisor.

The company is the culmination of many years' work by Paul Walsh, Dave Rooks and others, who I worked with closely on the creation of POWDER. The new company, which makes extensive use of POWDER, will be offerint prodicts and serveices in online identity, privacy, Web site protection and mobile Web certification. It will also be providing critical labelling services for the new .xxx Top Level Domain.

I'll update this section once I have a clearer idea of what I am doing personally and when I can talk more freely about what the company is doing!

For many years I've done a succession of freelance tasks for Arqiva. When I began working for this company is was the satellite and broadcast division of Kingston Communications (the Hull based telco). This is largely through a personal connection with Darren Deans with whom I worked at JMS many years ago.

These days I help Darren and fellow JMS alumnus Jon Heggie with ad hoc copywriting projects as required. Separately, I also work with the corporate PR team on the Arqiva Web site where I look after things like the press release and ticker system (all done in ASP classic!).

Many years ago a friend introduced me to local walking enthusiast Roger Wolfe. He'd worked with organisations like the East Suffolk Travellers' Association on creating a series of walks along the rural railway line from Ipswich to Lowestoft that he wanted to put on the Web.

The East Suffolk Line Walks Web site was the result and it's one I have had great pleasure in creating and maintaining ever since.

Back in the mists of time when I was working in local radio, I made part of my living by doing voice overs. I still keep my hand in by doing occasional voice work, notably for the AV Unit. As well as the usual mix of corporate promotional and instructional videos, the work includes doing the voice over inserts for awards nights - real 'voice over man' stuff! Next time I'm there I must ask for a copy of some audio so I can add it here…
