View from where we are

Welcome here! This site is musings and perusings of Lee Alley s he sees things American from his vantage point in London. The site's in it's fifth iteration and as an added bonus serves as a showcase for some home, and community, built web design concepts.

The site itself is built on the back of a Drupal content management system and is hosted, managed, built, design and run entirely on top of a free software stack. Everything from my PC to the server upon which it's hosted uses Free and Open-source (FOSS) software.

The site look and feel will change from time to time until we settle on one that approaches being the ultimate cool webpage. Until then there will be changes. if you don't like them, tell us. If you do like them, tell us.

The commentary is informed by work done on four continents, through direct experience of two of the major land wars of the end of the 20th century, and working for and with some of the biggest and some of the most innovative companies and organisations in the world today (usually, but not always, mutually exclusive categories).

We hope you enjoy, are informed or connected but if you are only made to think about something we will be overjoyed and you will have paid us the ultimate compliment.
