This blog is written and maintained by me, the technical lead, founder and only employee of Clearskys.net. I am affectionately known as Barry (Barry G. or just B). I am un-affectionately know as [cut, B].
Being a freelance programmer since I was 12 years old (my first application ran on a BBC Model B computer and was designed to teach the math class the principles of probability theory, though in reality it just served as a handy method of winning sweets from class mates), I have since gained a bachelor’s degree in computer science and has worked in such fields as banking, consultancy and tourism as well as spending time as an enthusiastic database technology trainer. And all in only 10 short years.
Clearskys.net is based in the Spanish city of Murcia.
I aim to follow the “Have laptop will travel” philosophy, though in all honesty you will tend to find me at one of the local coffee shops or bars (whichever has the fastest Wifi).
I tend to think of myself as a developer first and a designer second. Nothing interests me more than solving a tricky problem, or making something work in a way that seems simple, but sooo right. As such I love to work with independent designers. If you are a designer looking for someone to bring your designs to life, then please get in touch.

Why is the company name grammatically incorrect, shouldn’t it be clearskies.net?
The company was originally called Clear sky (as in “The moon isn’t far a clear sky and stars“), with the web presence being known as Clear sky’s network. Unfortunately as you can not use apostrophes or spaces in domain names it had to be shortened it to clearskys.net. For simplicity the company took the same name shortly afterwards. So, while in one sense, yes it is grammatically incorrect, in another, no it isn’t.
