What do I do?My professional work has evolved over the years to encompass many skills that I can employ as an when required which it makes it hard to define what it is "I do". Over the last few years much of my effort has been centred around: |
Writing and Lecturing
Much of my writing work relates to documenting my own research and development work, and as 'scribe in chief' to the Free Range Network I oversee the production of the Network's information and educational materials. To access the publications of the Free Range Network goto their downloads section on the FRAW site. I also write articles when invited, the most notable recent examples being short articles for both Chatham House and the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. As the editor of the materials provided via the Free Range Activism Website (FRAW) I can also provide short papers or articles based on material on the site, or provide a license for the commercial use of any publication on the site (since the publications are open licensed for non-commercial use only). If you would like to commission an article, or seek the rights to commercially publish any of the work published via the FRAW web site, please get in touch. |
Energy and Environment
As noted above, in 2005 my book, Energy Beyond Oil, was published. But as well as writing and research I spend a large part of the year travelling Britain giving workshops and lectures on the themes that have been developed as part of my work with the Free Range Energy Beyond Oil Project:
If you would like to host a lecture or a day workshop then you can find details of all the current events we run in the training and lectures page. As well as these 'off the peg' type events, we can also customise events to suit your particular needs. |
Planning, Waste and Pollution Control

Information and Communications Technology
Commercially, what I teach tends to focus on the practical use of ICT for specific ends related to community organising and campaigning. If you'd like details of my ICT-related events see the training and lectures page. |
Low-tech Engineering and Renewable Energy
|
Free and Open Source Systems
Today, as well as training people to use Gnu/Linux systems I specialise in teaching the recycling of old IT equipment to produce standalone and networks of computers for community uses (e.g., The Container Project in Jamaica). I also, working with the Free Range CommunityLinux Training Centre (which I designed) and Salvage Server Projects develop tools and resources for people to develop their own information and communications technology skills using Gnu/Linux.
