I started this blog back in 2006, back when me and my partner Nicky where having our first daughter Madison. It started out as a blog for us to share thoughts and events throughout the pregnancy and birth, however over the course of time it has slowly but progressively evolved into a place for me to talk about technology.

Powered by WordPress, and designed with my own custom theme, designed to represent the Windows Phone 7 Metro user interface also found in Zune. Previosuly known as Baby-Green Blog, I moved the site from our personal domain to it’s own dedicated domain and renamed the blog to Richard J Green: The Mostly Technological Ramblings. Although the title may seem long winded it fits perfectly as this blog consists of technology wafflings and intruiges as I surf my way through the technology universe, whilst scattering it with commentry about other topics in my life such as motorbikes, photography or the like.

My name is Richard James Green (Richard J Green for all intents and purposes), a 25 year old IT professional currently working in the retail sector for Prmark Stores Ltd, based out of their head offices in Reading, while living in Basingstoke. I am a highly self-motivated, passionate and vibrant IT professional with expertise and interest in network and systems support, administration, design and implementation, fast and keen to learn and master new technologies.
