Hi, I'm Guy, the CEO of Adaptavist. I'm pretty useless at most things but luckily I've got a great team of people working alongside me and lots of great friends to help keep me sane.
This is my little blog-come-community, hopefully someone will find it of some use
Front-end web development: JavaScript, CSS, XHTML, microformats
Pull marketing (the opposite of pushy marketing)
Altruism
Weaknesses
I'm pretty useless when it comes to managing my time - I tend to get distracted by other things all too easily
1
Overloading myself - I tend to take on far too many tasks at once, although I'm getting better at divesting / distributing tasks to other members of staff
It should be noted that when the company doubled in number of staff recently, almost all of them were employed to reduce my workload so as you can imagine, I've been juggling lots of very disparate tasks
Company Roles
CEO and co-founder of Adaptavist.com Limited
Managing overall direction of the company
Preventing office politics and bureaucracy
Lots and lots and lots (no, really, LOTS) of other stuff
Interests and Hobbies
Drooling over Famke Janssen and women with purple hair
Dofus MMORPG - it's like a mix of cartoon and role playing game (I'm a Cra on Rosal)
Sci-Fi (Heros, Matrix, etc.)
Languages
English (native speaker)
Where am I?
The map below shows where I am (usually). Sometimes the little pointy thing appears in the ocean - which is bad because I tend to sink in water - or even in a different country!
What am I up to?
My current mission is to get people to stop using Internet Explorer 6. The widespread presence of this ancient browser results in project timescales regularly increasing by 60% or more, thus making them more expensive. The costs are passed directly on to customers and consumers. Furthermore, by trying to cater for IE6, many sites end up with impaired functionality when viewed with browsers that actually work.
Show your support by joining Save the Developers! Corporate customers looking to cut their IT budgets should consider that while staying in the Internet dark ages means they don't spend money updating their intranets, the general cost of all web based content and software is generally 60% higher and yet less functional because of IE6. Even Microsoft, not known for their support of open standards, have now confirmed that IE8 will be standards-compliant by default - if you're relying on IE6 being around for a long time, it's time to reconsider your decision.
Use the Feed Builder for a more customised feed. We plan to add an auto-feed discovery to Theme Builder in the next few months but for now you'll have to do it the manual way, sorry.
