I'm Craig Cockburn. The name comes from the Scottish Borders (tileable sample of the tartan, and a scanned sample of the Cockburn modern tartan) and is pronounced "Coburn". I grew up in Dunblane, Perthshire, and I'm based in Scotland.
As featured in The Sydney Morning Herald: How Mr C0ckburn fought spam (26 February 2004).
My professional work in agile coaching, programme and project delivery, and critical thinking is at siliconglen.com. That's where you'll find my career history, case studies, credentials and talks, and how to get in touch about working together.
This site, Silicon Glen, is my long-running personal site about Scotland and Scottish culture, which I've built and maintained since the early days of the web. These pages cover my interests outside work: Gaelic, traditional music and song, Scottish culture, and my involvement in the early internet.
