About
What is Zath?
What’s this place all about? Well our primary aim is to get the best out of the technology that is available to us which also includes finding the best quality gaming that we can – who wants to and has the time to waste on technology products and games which are just not worth your while?
I’m Simon Barker (otherwise know as Zath) and I’m someone who has always liked to embrace technology and tries to fully utilise it to get all the benefits that I can, be it in terms of:
- General computing and getting the best from what the Internet has to offer from a Technology point of view, be it Web 2.0 services, software or entertainment, much of which are provided free to us Internet users.
- Mobile phones and their associated functionality – I have a HTC Tytn II handset which is essentially a Pocket PC, I can check emails, browse the web to get information I need wherever I am and use the built-in GPS to find my way around new places – the future for mobile platforms is one that holds a lot of possibilities for all of us.
- Gaming is also developing at great speed, be it from a technical point of view in terms of graphics, physics, gaming engine or utilising new technologies to create new gaming styles as we’ve witnessed with the Nintendo Wii.
Who is Simon Barker?
I’m based in the York area of the UK and have a keen interest in most forms of technology and perhaps appropriately (or I could just be a glutten for punishment) I work as a System Administrator for an Oracle HR-based database system. Outside of my day-job I’m also somewhat of a freelance IT consultant for local home and small business users building systems, correcting faults and providing training as required.
