[edit] Intro
I have a fantastic wife, and a wonderful daughter who was born on 21st February 2006.
In 1990, I co-founded Eidos plc, the fastest growing company in the 1990s, which grew to over £1,000,000,000 market cap the year I left the Board. My original investment grew 1,000,000 times (after tax) by the time I sold. This provided the start-up capital for Forbidden Technologies plc, which successfully floated in 2000 (and was the best performing new share issue in the world that year).
I am currently CEO of Forbidden, whose main product is FORscene.
My father's Wikipedia article is here.
There is a Wikipedia article about me here.
[edit] Hobbies
My hobbies include classical chamber music with friends, orchestral playing, Go, new technology, and making videos. You can subscribe to my video podcast here.
My last concert was held at 18:30 on Saturday 7th October 2006 at St. James' Church, Piccadilly. The programme was:
- Vaughan Williams overture The Wasps
- Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A major
- Dvořák Symphony No. 9, "From the New World" - Excerpts from the dress rehearsal are on various websites and on my podcast
I am often quoted in the press, for example here on the BBC website and here on an industry magazine website.
I also enjoy Wikipedia, where I hope to become an Administrator.
[edit] Videos
I have produced, edited and published a number of videos which are available in the commons. Gmaxwell is coordinating the implementation of a Java player for use in Wikipedia, and these videos play back in the prototype:
- The highest Bungy jump in the world
- Medical following birth
- Epsom Go side 9x9 tournament
- RFA message

The Barnstar of Diligence | ||
I, CComMack, award you this Barnstar of Diligence for your excellent work on cleaning up light rail. It has been said that an article achieves NPOV when you can no longer tell what the opinion is of the person who wrote it, and that is now true for light rail for the first time I can remember. Many thanks. CComMack (t•c) 17:58, 13 August 2006 (UTC) |
