Well after probably years of speculation about someone acquiring Macromedia, it turns out not to be Microsoft as many expected (except me!), but the old rival Adobe. This will be interesting.
Well, gotta love the irony that it turned out to be the old foe Adobe and not Microsoft this time. But hey, maybe in six months to a year the combined company will be worth less than the two were independently, and Gatey boy will get a bargain 2x1 price.
I have been working in and around the world of digital media since its inception in the early eighties, now as a Group Product Manager for Microsoft responsible for Microsoft Expression.
I was one of the early pioneers of Desktop Publishing and thanks to a background in telecomms and photography, I quickly saw the potential of the Internet and have been involved with some fascinating web projects throughout the years. I have spoken at lots of conferences and exhibitions throughout these years - a part of my job that I particularly enjoy.
I’m a musician too with a love of most music, but especially Irish/Celtic. I guess my biggest hobby as such, is running the internet life of musician Rick Wakeman!
Family wise, my wife is Jo and I have five children, Stephanie (17) and Maegan (14) and with Jo, Alana (6) and Liam (3) and now baby Jake.
