One of these days I will re-design this site properly!

A quick run-down, with links where appropriate:

• Child of the 80's
• Educated to degree level; BSc (Hons) Computing. I'm bored of learning by other people's rules nowadays, though.
• Open Source supporter
• Linux Desktop user, as well as on umpteen servers (Debian and Fedora by the way)
• I've been a DJ, but I got sick of some aspects of it, and now only do so infrequently.
• I'm currently a self-employed Linux/Security/Internet/IT Consultant
• Heavy Metal freak
• I like booze
• I like sci-fi
• I'm a would be musician, but I'm getting there...

if you want to give me a job/contract, are interested in any of the opensource stuff I'm doing, etc. (even the bugs ;-)) I'm contactable by mobile, Monochrome, and various instant messenger formats (c/o Pidgin), but for obvious reasons they are not published here, email me if you need those details.

Oh, and I'm on Myspace, LinkedIn, and all that jazz. Most of the time I wish I wasnt; I wasn't short of ways to waste time before I joined them, and I am most certainly not short of them having done so!
