Welcome to SimonCox.com

Hi - this is my personal website. I bring you a smattering of articles to read and comment on when you have time, images to soak in while you wander about the web and thoughts to ponder on while you drink your tea. I also tend to use this as a bit of a testing ground for new web development and content management ideas so occasionally the site will be in a bit of a flux..
