Just another Northern Monkey
Hi, my name is Jon Combe. It is no coincidence that my surname rhymes with doom and gloom. I'm a User Interface Engineer not really understanding life back in England after half a decade in SE Asia.
I am married to the wonderful Daeng, we have no kids yet. She's much smarter and prettier than I am and is a huge asset at social occasions where she invariably makes me look better than I otherwise would.
By day I design and create (hopefully) intuitive user interfaces for a well known financial company. It's my job to make using our products as instinctive as using a computer can be and never a chore. The halcyon ideal is for a system to be so easy-to-use that you don't even notice it there; one where interaction is natural, where relevant information is presented with clarity and in minimal time. One day I'll get there.
You could argue that this website isn't particularly user-friendly - and definitely not very exciting compared to others - but it exists for different reasons.
Outside the world of weekly meetings, conference calls and wearing shoes, I am the owner of Bangkok's Premier Business Directory & What's On Guide and JAWStats web analytics, both of which I'm actively working on.
