Hello
I am a member of the Newcastle University UNIX team.
I used to work for the Web team. As is traditional for people who work in the web, my personal page is usually out-of-date and of a pretty poor standard.
You may have met me through one of my personal interests, detailed below.
My weblog is syndicated here and here.
Computing
I am a computer enthusiast: both hardware and software, although I am more
experienced with software. I contribute to a variety of open source projects
(a minor claim to fame is this trivial code in
Linux). Some of the software I have
worked on is available at the software area of the site.
My operating system of choice is Debian GNU/Linux.
I'm a developer-to-be. Here is an overview my debian involvement.
Here's my GPG key (although you are better off fetching it from a keyserver -- the fingerprint is FD35 0B0A C6DD 5D91 DB7A 83D1 168B 4E71 7032 F238).
University
I graduated from the University of Durham (St John's College) in July of '04, after spending three years studying Computer Science. Whilst there I did a few things, including maintain the St John's JCR web page. Here is a graduation picture (214K).
Personal
I'm a reasonably left-leaning vegetarian. I'm interested in consumerism, in particular the feasibility of recycling and maintaining a reusable lifestyle.
I enjoy Ice Skating (you may well find me in Whitley Bay Ice Rink on Saturday afternoons) and (less frequently) Cycling, although I do not compete professionally in either. One day I might take up Ice Hockey.
I'm also a bit arty. Part of being arty includes taking photos.
Me, Elsewhere
My PGP key, although that is likely to become out-of-date pretty quickly. I'd suggest grabbing it from a keyserver such as subkeys.pgp.net or pgp.mit.edu.
