Smotsie's Blog

Greetings and welcome to this, my brand new blog. In addition to Twitter, Facebook, IM, Email and all the old fashioned ways of communicating (phone, letter, talking, smoke signals) I thought I would add my five pence worth to the blogosphere.

If you have just stumbled upon this by accident, you might want to know a little about me. Well, I am a Forty-something (just) presenter on Apple AM : Taunton Hospital Radio, with a wife, three daughters, and as if that wasn’t enough, one grand-daughter!

I am a linux-loving geek type who tries to use FOSS in almost everything IT-based which I do, although I am often stymied by systems which “only work with Windows” or people who evangelize one system over another and won’t consider that there are alternatives.

The blog will most likely contain several categories, including Hospital and Community radio, software, hardware, family and anything else I choose to witter on about.

So, if you check back periodically you may find new stuff here, alternatively you just may find that like so many other blogs, this one has led a short, but fascinating life and is now a corpse – testament to the difficulty of keeping such things going. (If I had a pound for every Internet-based system I have visited which died before 6 months had elapsed, I would be extremely rich!)
