Bio

Starting in 1978 on mainframes (IBM, HP and Singer) I was lucky to see and live the enormous IT growth. Those days we had to write around memory available and compile programs before it could be executed. Very time consuming but did not see it that way!

I’m not totally up-to-date with technology anymore although I can help myself in PHP, CSS etc. Only develop systems for myself and will sometimes assist a friend.

I live on Inhaca Island, Mozambique and use my time more to enjoy the Indian Ocean, white beaches, fresh seafood and amazing people. If any developer out there ever decides to work from an Island – Inhaca is the place to be. What is better than working without a shirt and shoes under a palm tree? 🙂

WordPress Origin Story

Coming from the main frame era working in Cobol, RPGII and PowerHouse. Then move to the “little computers” starting with Basic and with the event of the Internet moved on to html, php and the rest to develop an online system.
Lost my patience with the hours of writing code and loved it when WordPress came aboard. Save lots of time and at the same time, have very talented developers out there which bring new ideas and technique to the table. Learn every day something new. Exiting!
Still need to spend some time to write code when plugins, etc is not doing exactly one wishes to get. At least the backbone is there and one can spend the time saved on being creative and enjoy coding challenges.
