Phil Hendren is otherwise known these days as Dizzy from the Dizzy Thinks blog. Phil has been playing with computers most of his life and used to while away his younger days writing programmes on a ZX Spectrum.
Phil took an unorthodox route to University, first being expelled from a state primary, then again from a state secondary, before ending up at Grammar School, shunning A Levels for an FE College before finally graduating in Politics from an ex-Poly.
Professionally, Phil worked through the dotcom boom and bust at Internet Service Providers, as a network engineer and eventually a system administrator looking after large Unix-based infrastructure. He recently left the ISP industry for a global computer games company, and whilst not managing servers hosting games he's playing them.
He's appeared on both Sky News and BBC Newsnight, and has contributed to a number of political books as well as writing occasional Op-Eds for the Times on computing issues. Politically speaking he is on the right and loves nothing more than to moan about the state of country but with a little more panache than Richard Littlejohn.
