\nHello inquisitive person!<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Michael Horne, known throughout the Internet as “recantha” (It’s a Star Trek reference, but it’s spelled wrong so it’s pretty unique!)<\/p>\n

I am Company Director at The Case Centre<\/a>, a CFML (ColdFusion)<\/a> \/ SQL web developer by trade and a Raspberry Pi<\/a> enthusiast for fun!<\/p>\n

I live in Potton, Bedfordshire, UK<\/a> with my wife Tracey and two step-children, Amanda and James.<\/p>\n

I am involved in amateur theatre (amdram) as a performer, director and producer.<\/p>\n

I’m a Christian, but not in a terrifying way! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
