Oven Ready Software Ltd.

Who is "Oven Ready Software"?
This is the computer consultancy that I own. I had considered "Pirate Software" but I felt that it might attract the wrong kind of attention!

Why?
Throughout my career I have regularly suffered from "back of the parade" syndrome.

This is a distressing disorder which manifests itself as days spent reverse engineering a design whose original designer was too lazy to document it in the first place (and who is getting all the glory while you get to follow behind with the bucket and shovel...).

As a professional engineer my ethic is that anything I create should not be difficult to install, operate, or maintain. It should work straight out of the box - hence the company name!

What?
