At the moment this site is maintained by myself, Marcus Baker and I am an Object Oriented web developer and father of two. I am currently a freelancer working as a senior developer for Wordtracker and as a consultant to various smaller companies. Wordtracker is an internet statistics company with a huge database of search engine keyword popularity. The company software development is eXtreme Programming based.

My wife Aviva Racher is a microbiologist and Mother of the same two.

Besides working for Wordtracker, I also act as an independent consultant. Usually in relation to bringing agile development practices into an organisation. Clients include Waterscape and Amnesty International.

I did a quick site for a graphic designer and illustrator friend of mine, Dylan Beck. He has a very unique style.

The Ambassadors of Om are a Jazz-Funk fusion (?) band with an internet presence going back over five years. Site includes samples, videos and links. The band is managed by guitarist and lead singer Paul Grimes who is a friend of ours.

Mark Eichner is Aviva's uncle and run's the Leisure Pursuits off-road driving school. Lots of wheels and mud!
