Network Infrastructure Engineering
Opus Novum Ltd was originally formed in
1929 by Mr. Herbert George Wells. It was not long before he realised his
mistake, he had formed a network infrastructure company before the advent of computers.
Feeling a little despondent at this temporal slip, Mr Wells decided to
concentrate his efforts in the field of literature. Consequently little is known of the
companies history until it's re-discovery in the back of a cereal cupboard in
late 1992 by
three recently graduated ( and VERY hungry) students. As two of the
students were Computer Science graduates, they quickly realised that they
could dust the cornflakes off Opus Novum, and make a living, while getting
involved with some interesting projects, and offering freelance services through the
company. Ok if anybody actually reads this, you will realise by now that
we're exercising a little poetic licence with this "about us" section, but
we figure hey if we're going to have a section with a made up history of us
and our company it may as well be an entertaining section. The rest of the
site is about Network Infrastructure, that's a serious subject, but we
wouldn't want to take ourselves too seriously.

What on earth does Opus-Novum mean......?Opus Novum is a popular Latin phrase, Many of you will no doubt recognise the phrase from what is thought to be it's earliest recorded usage, the famous quote attributed to the Emperor Hadrian upon surveying the completion of his wall spanning the 73 miles from the Tyne to the Solway Firth in 128AD "Opus Novum id perfecisset mature"
We regret to inform you that this section of the page has not been completed, due to the web designer running screaming from the building. If we've told Sharron once we've told her a hundred times "don't talk to the web designers about Ancient Greek accentuation while they're working on the Latin section, it freaks them out."

as a
professional cat worrier. Ed is the only person in the world to have
been awarded both the prestigious "Ubergeek" and "Techno nerd"
awards in the same
year. He received his first beard from his father at the tender age of 5 and
now has a quite enviable collection. Despite popular mythology
the "Lightweight" in "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol" is NOT a reference to Edmund.
Sharron is no longer allowed to practice
her chosen martial art "formal specifications in Z" after receiving an dishonourable discharge from the
Ghurkhas for
over-zealous behaviour in the face of incompetent software developers. A
spokesman for the U.N. commission on code monkey's said "We will do anything you say, just please don't
let her test our software again!". 
...just don't
tell the others..". Kevin cut his teeth making split second tactical
decisions on the best racing line for his "War Elephants". Unfortunately
after a meeting with the MoD and the Home Office it transpired that his
permit had expired but he would be allowed to trade in his pachyderms for a
small collection of almost working motorcycles. ( note for web designer
we said picture of MD, NOT DM)
Recently voted "German Shepherd most likely to be able to eat a Postman in

getting into trouble that one bad dog, bad dog.
