Tony Mountifield's Home Page

This page is still under construction (despite having been started a long time ago!) It will grow as I think of more things to put in it. Please feel free to email me with suggestions, as I am not the most imaginative person in the world! :-)

A bit about me: I live in Winchester (Hampshire, UK) with my wife Maggie. We have two grown-up children, Rachel and Philip, who both live in Bath. Philip is married to Jess. I grew up in Gosport, Hampshire, went to Elson Infant and Junior Schools from 1962 to 1968, Bay House School from 1968 to 1975 and then studied at Durham University (Collingwood College) from 1976 to 1979.

My main interests are:

• Church: my wife and I are part of Winchester Family Church. I play keyboard in one of the bands and Maggie helps with the pre-school children.

• Music: I play piano and guitar. I'm particularly into Jazz, and trying to learn to play it properly on the piano. I also enjoy classical music.

• Computing: primarily interested in Linux, but also a user of Windows.

• Chess: I have been playing in Winchester Chess Club (HCA) since September 2005, and I also play on the internet at GameKnot.

• Genealogy: it's my sister Anne who does most of the hard work, but I do enjoying searching the Internet to find other people with the surname Mountifield. Every Mountifield we have found so far is related to us. If you are another one, please email us!

• Finding old friends: through the Friends Reunited website, Facebook and other places.

I work as a contract Unix Sysadmin and/or Software Engineer through my own company, Software Insight Ltd. and most of my recent work has been the development of telephony systems, particularly conference bridges, based on Asterisk, for Miton Systems Ltd., of which I am joint owner.

If you're feeling generous, I have a wish list on Amazon.co.uk
