Simon North

Hi, my name is Simon North and I run many sites including Help Developer as part of my company, Simnor Computing. I enjoy running my business and when I have spare time I like to help others by running and being part of forums. I also like to hang out with my mates, watch Friends and Scrubs on E4, play football and all the other stuff a bachelor tends to do.
