I work for Red Hat, where I lead JBoss technical direction and research/development. Prior to this I was SOA Technical Development Manager and Director of Standards. I was Chief Architect and co-founder at Arjuna Technologies, an HP spin-off (where I was a Distinguished Engineer). I've been working in the area of reliable distributed systems since the mid-80's. My PhD was on fault-tolerant distributed systems, replication and transactions. I'm also a Professor at Newcastle University and Lyon.

ZX81 is 30 years old?!
Now this brings back memories! I was never a ZX owner, nor did I own a Spectrum. But they did come out when I was at school and I did write programs for them, so I have fond memories (including using a milk bottle as a heat sink!) My personal computer ownership started with a Commodore Pet (still have it at home!) and then a BBC Model B, both of which were a step up from the punch-tape mainframes that we used in school prior to their arrival! Ah, those were the days!
