About
Me
Hello! My name’s Phil. I’m a mid-twenties IT Professional working in Cambridge, England.
I’ve been using PCs since I was 8. You know you’re geeky when you’re my age and you grew up using DOS 6.22 and Window 3.11!
My main/current areas of expertise are no longer technology based, and mostly surround enabling Engineers to create better products, faster.
This site
This site is an attempt to re-balance the universe. After years of milking the internet for IT knowledge, I thought it was about time I gave something back to the community.
I mainly use this blog to jot down anything I come across in my work/play that I think may be useful to other people. If any of it helps you out, feel free to comment. A quick hello is always welcome 
Work
I spend my working hours at a fabless-semi company in Cambridge.
Still curious?
If you’d like to know more about me, you can find bits of my life dotted around the web:
Books
Ah, books. Whenever I’m interested in a subject, I often check out some online resources and then dive onto Amazon and buy a few recommended books on the subject. DisplayLink’s been great as well – frequently purchasing books that will help me work more effectively or progress my career.
