I started life as an archaeologist before retraining in IT and have wide experience of work in the voluntary / not for profit and continuing education sectors in Scotland where I am usually based. This has included database design, hardware support, software support, website design and tuition.

From 2009 - 2010 I was  in Nairobi, Kenya as Assistive Technology Tutor with the Kenyan Society for the Blind. Then came two years in Ethiopia, working with the Addis Ababa HIV / AIDS Prevention and Control Office and the Ethiopian Midwives Association. My most recent stint abroad was another two years in Papua New Guinea as Provincial Capacity Building ICT Advisor on a United Nations Development Program / Ministry of Finance project. For now I am back in Scotland and a part time Open University tutor.

Thanks for this, despite being a legal requirement in North America and Europe website accessibility remains all too often an out of sight, out of mind issue for website owners and designers.

I am not so sure about the 'good old days' Anderson, I kept an eye on Linux developments from the mid nineteen nineties but it was not until about 2007 that there was something that I could think about recommending to a general user.
