I am a retired Management Information Systems Specialist who has worked in Asia, mostly Indonesia, on a variety of
development projects. 
A while back I was part of an EC mission in The Philippines,
before that I was working in The Maldives developing a GIS, (Geographic Information System),
to help planning and regional development.
Before that I was working with UNHCR in Timor and
before that in The Bahamas, developing a GIS to allow
speedy development decisions through environmental impact assessments.
Other work includes creating GIS's for
conservation projects in West Papua and Sulawesi with WWF, and the setting up of GIS units for
land use planning throughout Indonesia.
Earlier work includes the development of computer models for irrigation and flood control.
Almost all projects have included setting up a wide range of management
information systems, database systems and training.
Before Indonesia I worked in management, computer training, ergonomics, medical physics and engineering. I started off with a degree in engineering in the late 1960's, that was when it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a working class youth to go to university ;-)
Nowadays I spend most of my time pottering around on the computer and taking a few photographs.
I occasionally pass my time playing the fiddle or the concertina. Mostly I play Northumbrian and Irish traditional music and publish a
tunebook of them. My photography is better than my fiddling ;-( Check out my photos. They are not bad and probably the only thing that will will live after me :-(
Previously, when not working, I'd spend much of my time travelling, usually in Indonesia.
A while back I even managed to find time to
sail across the Indian Ocean, from Bali to Mauritius.
Currently I'm taking it easy thinking about what to do next :-)
I suspect that my websites expressing my anti-war, anti-Israel interests might give the wrong impression. I'm a quiet guy who leads a reclusive life.
