About the speaker
Jolyon Ralph was born a few days before the first successful demonstration of the internet, back in October 1969. After studying Geology at Imperial College, London, he took a computing support job in BP (British Petroleum).
Following from this Jolyon worked as a programmer, consultant, software publisher, computer forensics expert witness, computer journalist and lecturer.
In recent years Jolyon worked for Top Hat Computing Ltd, a Croydon-based Microsoft consultancy, as senior consultant. During his time at Top Hat Computing Jolyon provided consultancy for major companies - most notably BBC News where Jolyon spent much of his assisting with Windows NT and specialist newsroom software issues.
Jolyon gave up his position on the board of Top Hat Computing when he left the company. Jolyon formed Mysterious Ways in late 1999 to develop his Internet ideas - the company has rapidly expanded since then and Jolyon has continued to operate both as managing director and to continue technical services such as programming and consultancy work for our clients.
In his spare time Jolyon is an active mineral collector, and has developed and operated the non-profit website www.mindat.org, which is the largest mineralogy resource available on the internet.

International Museum Day 2010, Hong Kong
- Museums for Social Harmony
In 1978, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) designated 18 May as International Museum Day (IMD) every year. To promote the activities and services provided by museums in Hong Kong as well as to interact with people of all ranks in society, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) has been celebrating the occasion in mid-May every year since 2001 which also helps to arouse the public's awareness on the functions and missions of the museums in society. "Museums for Social Harmony" is the theme for this year's International Museum Day. We encourage different parties to visit museums to foster goodwill spirit and enhance peaceful coexistence, which will help to build a harmonious society. There will be free public admission to all local participating venues on 15-16 May 2010, over the IMD weekend. In addition, educational and entertaining programmes will be held at different museums during these two days. Come and join the fun! For details of IMD 2010, Hong Kong, please refer to the announcements made by individual museums and visit the website of Hong Kong Museum of Art http://hk.art.museum for the list of participating museums.
