I am a writer and editor at TallAndTrue.com and blog on my eponymous website, RobertFairhead.com. I also write and narrate episodes for the Tall And True Short Reads storytelling podcast, which features my short stories, blog posts and other writing from Tall And True. I have also published several short story collections.
I became involved with Joomla! in 2008 when I used the platform to build a website for my local dog club.
I subsequently used Joomla! to develop several generations of the dog club website and for my son's primary school P&C website.
I also used Joomla! to create Tall And True, a website showcasing my writing - fiction, nonfiction and reviews - and the writing of Guest Writers.
I was involved with the Sydney Joomla! User Group (JUG) from 2008, presenting at monthly JUGs and helping organise and present at several JoomlaDay Sydneys. I presented at the inaugural JoomlaDay Australia in Brisbane in 2019 and regularly attend Joomla! Australia virtual meet-ups.
I have been a software developer for more than 40 years and became a Joomla! extension developer by sheer coincidence: I was using a very fine extension called SQL2Excel, when the developer of that extension suddenly disappeared. As Joomla 2.5 was around the corner, somebody had to jump in and migrate that extension for the new Joomla! - so jDBexport was born. Since then, I developed several other Joomla! extensions, mainly because we needed them ourselves, like payment plugins for various webshop systems. We don’t develop just for Joomla; we also create solutions for lots of different environments.
