Helsby's Home in Heaven

The Home of the Customiser

(Or what used to be the main homepage until it expanded)

This is titled the Home of the customiser due to all of the small things I change on my Windows/Windows NT or Windows95 desktop so that it is different to everyone elses. Which gets right up peoples noses when they come to use my machine. But if I can make it so customised that no-one can use it, it means I always get the PC to myself!

Who Am I?

Good Question and is probably one of the most common questions people ask, apart from What Am I doing here? The other question most commonly asked is "What are the lottery numbers going to be this week?" Well I don't believe in the lottery as it encourages greed. Besides, did you know you stand more chance of getting a heartattack whilst queueing for a ticket than you do winning the Jackpot?


What do I do?


I am an employee of Siemens plc, working in Congleton, England in the IT Department. I have been working there since Febuary 1995, although I was working in a different site of Siemens before that for six months. I am responsible for the software user support on site for about 250 users, some of whom do not know what an on/off switch does which makes life a bit hard sometimes.

And as if I'm not too much of a glutton for punishment I have also lectured part time at Stoke on Trent College teaching "Totally Bewildered by Computers" and Clait Access courses
As mentioned on other pages I author and mantain THE Christian Concert Gig Guide which can be fund by clicking on the Whatson Link at the bottom of all of my pages.

I'm also a member of the Association of Christian HTML Authors, with further information obtainable by clicking on the graphic on the left. I also belong to the Guild of HTML Writers who can be found on by clicking on the picture on the right.

Yep, yet another page with a guest book


I have now managed to get a guest book which I would very much appreciate if you could sign it. Then I know who is visiting my page. Alternatively you can view the guest book to see what everyone else has written.
Note that I reserve the right to edit any comments made in this guest book
