Jon's website: http://www.JonCamfield.com

I revel in fixing things using simple, appropriate, technological magics, and sharing my techniques with others so as to sneakily spread my love for good, clean data and design. By extension, this means I love all things open sourced and following good, non-proprietary standards. I see value in championing these causes in any organization, but feel that the most overall good is done when you work closely with projects in the developing world to help them understand the value of their data and how to best use and share it. I have a habit of leaving organizational-memory aiding wikis and useful perl program snippets wherever I go. My IT experience is wide, spanning the entire history of Windows (excluding XP, but including MSDOS and it's pre-Microsoft ancestors), and increasingly I am using Linux as my personal OS and have always used it or Unix flavors for hosting/server work. I like CMS systems for other people, but personally prefer to stitch things together for my own site (if only there was a better Single Sign On tool for common apps that worked smoothly!). JonCamfield.com runs with a MediaWiki wiki which I've been neglectful of, a WordPress blog handling the blog entries, and some handcrafted XHTML/CSS with generous and creative use of server-side includes.
