A wee bit about myself


Yep, that's me

So you'd like to find out a bit more about me? Well here goes: my name is Ross Sutherland, I'm 26 years old and I live in Glenrothes in Scotland.

I have been working in IT for about 8 years now ever since leaving college. As a support engineer I'm not one of those nerdy types who sit in front of a screen all day compling code but rather I'm out and about all over east central Scotland. I do a little bit of everything in my job from repairing and maintaing computers, networks and servers to sales and customer support.


Me looking busy

Cannotfindserver.co.uk has been running for about 5 years during which it has undergone many changes. I'm not a web designer and do this as a hobby so all my skills are picked up purely through trial and error and hopefully they have been getting better over the years! At first I only had the site because I could and only 5 years ago a personal wesbite was a rareity but now as things have progressed I have decided to try and offer people something, normally in the way of computer advice.

As you have probably gathered by now computers are pretty much my life. Even when I was just a sprog I was into electronics and the like and I remember my dad making me small circuits on stripboard with flashing LEDs powered from blue 9v batteries.


This is my dad on one of the first computers we had in the house, certainly the first one I remember circa 1992. It was a Superbrain which ran at a whole 4MHz and had a huge 16kb of RAM! Looks like something from mission control during the first moon landing!
Ever since we got our first PC and I had written my own batch file menu to load Windows 3.11, drop to DOS or load various games with or without mouse/sound/cdrom drivers I knew I wanted to work with computers.


And finally when I'm not nerding it up (it does happen!) I'll be hanging about with my mates and/or girl friend watching movies, down the pub or having a wee bit of a jig in a club.
