General Post

Firstly I’d like to take this opportunity to wish our Clients, Friends, Academy Students and Blog subscribers SEASONAL GREETINGS and a very prosperous New Year.

I’m actually in Western Australia writing this post. Having completed a life long ambition and the most challenging personal goal of my life. That’s crossing the Southern Ocean from South Africa to Australia. Competing in a leg of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. I write more about this in my personal blog.

Since 2016, Greymatters prime purpose is to protect life. More personally, my goal is explicitly to save at least one life before I head off to the pearly gates and return into space dust.

Knowing we’re focused on saving lives through the work we do. It makes sense that everything we do supports this goal, i.e. using the top 1% software tools, with top 1% equipment by top 1% engineering talent. So that mistakes are avoided, errors eliminated, and the best chance of surviving electrocution is built-in to all our work.

Here’s a slight departure from the usual technical blog – so, the holiday’s are a distant memory, yet, the scene outside my window right now looks like something out of “A Christmas Carol”, by Charles Dickens. This time of year is a strange one for us; both December and January are truncated by the holidays which can mean playing catch-up on the work-related items to recover from the time spent during family reunions.
