Will Dickson is the CTO, arch-programmer, security / crypto paranoid-in-chief, occasional BOFH and very occasional programmer-artist of Caversham Computer Services Ltd, which John Dickson's bio has more to say about.
He started playing with computers longer ago than he cares to remember, and joined CCS after a diversion into Physics, during which he learned that equations are not necessarily scary, failed to shake off the habit of writing convoluted run-on sentences such as this one, and learned how to write FORTRAN, but thankfully only in FORTRAN. He also discovered that he was far more interested in developing things than in research for its own sake.
He goes along with most of John's ideas about computers, and has some related ones of his own.
.... to put it another way...
