Davey Winder , previously known as "Wavey Davey" or "dwindera" but now settled as "happygeek", is a United Kingdom IT pundit who has worked as a consultant, writer and journalist. After viral encephalitis left him severely disabled, he first got a computer to use video games to improve the coordination in the remaining arm in which he had the power of movement. He then used a word processor to learn how to read and write again, with the help of his late father and numerous Janet and John kids' books. The disease had also changed his personality, devastating his marriage and social life. After experiments with Prestel , he found an early British online community, CIX , in the late s, before direct connections to the internet were cheaply available outside academia, and this provided him with a new social and business life.
