For a long time now, I’ve been talking about moving away from Google for a lot of the cloud services that I have with them. I started off by explaining why I wanted to bring it all in house. But it soon, it became apparent that moving away from Google is harder that you think. However, after nearly 18 months of hard work and research, I think I’ve finally cracked it…
Biker, geek & great guy!

About Me
×××
I love motorbikes! I'm also a bit of a nerd, and a web designer
Motorbikes
I love them
I love being on 2 wheels, and my Aprilia Shiver 750 is my pride & joy. The freedom that comes from being out on your motorcycle really is second to none. There’s a really amazing community around biking, so being a part of that is also awesome!
Music
What I listen to
I love music, and when people ask me “What’s your favourite band?” I usually can’t answer that as I like so many variations of music. Pretty much anything apart from drum ‘n’ bass is fine with me.
Web Design
Gettin' Creative
I really enjoy web design. I have created numerous web sites (including this one). WordPress is my development platform of choice and links to some of the projects I have been part of can be found within my portfolio.
Open Source
Linux Trailblazer
I love the whole community ethos behind open source technology. A community of people, all volunteering to work together for one common goal – to make amazing free software. I’m a regular Linux user, and my current OS of choice is Ubuntu GNOME.

Build The Perfect Web Server

Unfortunately, the market is saturated with crappy hosts, who provide crappy support, and even crappier servers. So why not build the perfect web server for your needs?

Hudl 2 Review
// Kev Quirk // Blogging, Tech Stuff No Responses
Recently I got the latest tablet from Tesco, the Hudl 2. It’s a great looking tablet that fills the niche of a high quality device at a good price. After using the Hudl 2 for nearly a month, I thought I’d write this Hudl 2 review to try and help you guys form your own opinions on whether this device is for you.
