About me

I’m Andrew Kember. I live in Dunfermline, near Edinburgh in Scotland, with my wife Lisa and daughter Miranda.

I’m a Christian who believes that the Bible is the inspired word of God. I’m a bit of a geek, who thinks that clear, simple design is lovely.

I like eating tasty food, drinking good wine, watching entertaining films and reading absorbing books. I don’t eat black pudding and I dislike liver. I’m better at thinking up great projects than actually starting them. I’m better at starting mundane tasks than I am at finishing them.

Gift list

If you’d like to buy me a present, but need inspiration, you could look at my Amazon wish-list, or the list below.

Feed reading

This is a list of sites I have in my RSS newsreader (Google Reader). I read them because I find them interesting. I don’t agree with a lot of what’s said on some of them, and don’t condone the content of many of them, but here they are, nonetheless:

About the website

This is my personal website, which I use to write about my interests and also use to practise my web development skills.

The website is hosted at http://kember.net by Joyent. If you want to experience the future direction of web hosting, get an account, because the good people at Joyent are on the bleeding edge.

The registration of the Kember.net domain is ably handled by Pteron net services whose friendly and professional service deserves great credit.

The website content is managed by Textpattern (4) which is an open source project started by Dean Allen. This rather neat content management system is simple enough to allow me to concentrate on my content, but feature-rich enough for me to display it how I want. It’s not over-burdened with features, but has most of the things I need.
