Back when Windows were just things to look out of, Mat was tinkering with computers (48k Spectrum for any fellow geeks out there).
Prior to, and as, Brainball, he has worked for over 6 years as a freelance IT technician, helping home owners and business' with all aspects of computing- from networking, data recovery, tuition, consultation work, broadband setup to website design and coding (unlike many fellow techies, Mat has an eye for design).
We are closely associated with another company - Anansi Ltd. They deal with all our (your!) hosting and email setup needs and are as nice as we are.
Mat currently lives in London.
