Welcome to dave.harris.net, glad you could make it!

If you haven't guessed, I'm Dave Harris and I'll happily blog about anything, but you'll find a lot of sysadmin stuff, X10 and home automation, product reviews, hedgehog related stuff, DIY and car stuff on here.

Hopefully you will find some of it interesting and possibly even helpful, if you do, perhaps you could buy me a beer or a coffee (see links on right), nobody has yet, but I'm sure one day it will happen!

Have a look around and let me know what you think. Cheers, Dave.
