Abridged Curriculum Vitæ

Not much to say at this time. I quite liked the description someone else once stated of themselves so, to paraphrase (nearly verbatim, to be honest), and hopefully without sounding like the crowd instead of the 'individual' in Monty Python's Life of Brian:

"I am a strongly individualistic person and not a 'Team Player'. I can work with a 'Team' and for a 'Team' but still not be OF a 'Team'. I do not wish to bask in their glory and take any credit from their collective achievements, but neither do I take the blame for others’ shortcomings, unless of course they were acting under my instruction or direction or I had trained them and fallen down in that task.

"I can and of course do come together with others for a common purpose, but in the end reserve my rights, as far as is legally and contractually possible, to follow my own Judgement."

My predominant personal and professional interests are reflected in the areas covered in this website.

For those who take delight in noting characterological inclinations according to typology (with of course attendant limitations), using the MBTI, I'm pretty much an INTP. Using the more traditional temperaments, I am primarily choleric with melancholic secondary qualities. Using the enneagramme, a 5 with a 6 'wing'.

I will add to this page in due time - but it will continue to remain a very basic one. This site remains, after, my more personal one, and much can be gleaned from its contents.

As to my C.V., it's always a little out of date!
