About Me

Hi, I'm Nigel Dunn owner and author of this site. I currently work for a Melbourne Web Design company called Salsa Internet as the Support Manager. I've spent many years working on or close to the Internet and am working at developing my skills further and developing a few projects of my own.

This site is built on SilverStripe CMS which was originally developed in Wellington. I first heard of SilverStripe when they approached my friend and business partner Jack Yan. SilverStripe were wanting to move Lucire to their platform as a showcase site (if I recall correctly) in the very early days while SilverStripe was still a closed source product. I've decided to use SilverStripe as the CMS for my personal site for several reasons...

  1. I'm a Kiwi and I support New Zealand made!
  2. Wanting to evaluate SilverStripe as an alternative to Joomla.
  3. Open Source products always tickle my fancy.
