About Me

Reverend Liam Guy Hiram Proven, BSc.
Hi. I'm Liam. Don't expect to see much activity here - I barely use MySpace at all. You're slightly more likely to find me on Facebook , but still not a lot. I'm "Liam Proven" over there. On Orkut even less often.
There's more life on my blog-stroke-online diary on LiveJournal here . There's an intermittent presence on Twitter , too. Also frequently on CIX , too.
So. If you don't already know me, who is this "Liam Proven" person? A little personal info...
Occupation: freelance writer and I.T. consultant.
Real life: a not-very-comprehensive list of characteristics might read, alphabetically: Atheist, biker, biologist, SF fan, skeptic, vegetarian.
White, monogamous, heterosexual, male Englishman; unpierced (well, except medically; got lots of them. Call an eyebrow a piercing? I've got a pierced leg and a pierced arm!), untattooed, doesn't use tobacco or caffeine, drinks real ale in moderation.
A lot more alternative than the above sounds. ;¬)
If you want to get more of an impression of me, read some of my work, glance at the CV, or read a potted bio, check out my lamentably outdated homepage . It's more than a bit retro, but it contains personal and professional info, a few pictures and quite a lot of my published writing.
I take photos, too. You can look at them on my Flickr page .
I'm "lproven" on CIX, VOX, Flickr, Hotmail, MSN, Wikipedia and "liamproven" on AOL, Yahoo and Skype. Basically, I'm everywhere. Google me. As far as I know, I'm the only Liam Proven in the world.
What else? Regular attendee of and peripherally involved with Skeptics in the Pub . It's the most mentally stimulating night out you'll find in London every month - come along and try it!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Smart fun interesting people. Well-read is more important than educated. If you're prepared to let me practice French, Spanish, German or Norwegian on you, that'd be good.
Currently looking to be introduced to Lily Cole, Heather Sweet I mean, "Dita von Teese" and Eva Green.
(Well, I can dream, can't I?)
