About

About this site:

XSet is the personal website of Rob Dudley, a 29 year old software and web developer who lives in the Channel Islands.

I (Robert) use this site to write about almost anything I care to although the content has a definite technical bias.

The website is almost exactly 20 years younger than its owner.

FAQ

  • What does XSet mean?I’ve no idea. I needed something short, memorable and available and XSet was the first thing that came to mind.
  • Can I buy XSet.co.uk off you?
    Possibly, if you have a valid requirement for it and you’re prepared to make me a fair offer. I would also require that my email address remain intact. Give me a shout if you’re interested.
  • Are you associated with the XSet project?
    Nope! This site is in no way associated with either the environment variable handling application, the XML property set description or the XML search engine of the same name. Further more I have never issued or released any software or services under the name XSet. My trading name is Rubicon Internet Solutions and all works carry either this name, my own or the name of my employer.
  • You’ve ripped off my content / picture / music and I’m going to take you for every penny you’ve got!
    That’s nice. However I never knowingly breach copyright of written work and always credit other forms of media as required. Rather than reaching for your Lawyer’s speed dial how about you email me, let me know what the offending content is and I will happily review and if necessary remove it.

About the author:

Hi, I’m Rob and this is one of my two main online homes (excluding Twitter, Facebook and the social networking norms) .
I’ve been mucking around online since 1994 and have been mucking around with computers since 1989. I currently work as a ColdFusion developer for one of the best agencies in the Channel Islands. I live with the GGF and our two cats Poppy and Pooh who you’ll be glad to hear rarely feature in posts.
When not in front of the computer I love going to the cinema or watching movies at home on my ginormous telly. I’m passionate about coffee, good food and good wine. I love walking although don’t get to do as much as I’d like and am an occasional badminton player.

For transport the current wheels are a Honda CB1000R (white of course – it being the fastest colour) and a knackered 1979 Series III Landy which I will get round to fixing one day.
