Welcome to my web site. My name is Didi Barnes but my nickname is r2didi2, hence the title of this site! I am a partner in the IT security firm First Base Technologies but have a huge variety of hobbies and it is largely to these that this web site is dedicated, hence the links on the menu on the left.

I am a keen painter, poet and semi-professional photographer (wildlife and the natural world primarily) - you can see examples of some of my work from the menu.

I used to be a web site designer - if you want to learn how to code web sites yourself - or be able to "tweak" the code that a web design tool produces - then check out the "Didilogix" HTML Tutorial link.

The "Asperger's Syndrome" link is to a site I am still attempting to find time to finish which is intended to help those like me who have been diagnosed with, or think they may have, that condition.

Finally, I am an avid horse rider and own a rare breed of Danish horse called a "Knabstrupper". I am currently building a site about the breed itself, about my own horse and for general equestrian-related information.
