Below is the text of a letter a put together for the Watford Observer that was prompted by discussions around a proposed CPZ on the Cassiobury Estate in Watford. I’ve reproduced it here unedited: I have been engaging in dialogue over the current set of proposal options for parking on the Cassiobury Estate. I have [...]
A very sad event occurred at the end of last week when I finally terminated our broadband account with Demon Internet. It was sad because I’d been with Demon for almost 10 years since I joined the company in July 1999. I stuck with them even after leaving the company because they provided a great [...]

A few weeks ago Louise and I had the opportunity to have an evening out that we spent at The Stables restaurant in Rickmansworth. We did have a bit of a shock then when, as can be seen in the photo below, it appears that the restaurant is endorsing a drink that may be a [...]
I’m in the middle of what could well be my last visit to Montreal. At the end of next week I leave Ericsson to start working with a small Chicago-based company called 29west. It’s a complete departure for me as I’m moving out of telecommunications having spent the last 9 years in the industry beginning [...]
