Welcome to my web site. My name is Didi Barnes and I am a partner in the IT security firm First Base Technologies. However, I also have a huge variety of hobbies and it is largely to these that this particular web site is devoted, 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 on the left.

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. I also have bipolar disorder and fibromyalgia - rather a lot of medical labels!

Finally, I own a rare breed of Danish horse called a "Knabstrupper" and you can read more about him on my blog and the link about my horse.
