About Me

Geek in a strange world. Popped to the US on work duty for a few days, still here a few years later, loving the life.

My Interests

Techy stuff. Lots and lots of techy stuff.and more techy stuff;

I'd like to meet:

Myself at various times of my life.

Music:

Whilst out, music to boogy/rock out to, at home, pretty much the same and extra bits. Winamp playlist stuff atm, NiN, Fiona Apple, Sultans of Ping, The WildHearts, The White Stripes, Rob Zombie, Vivaldi, Tori Amos, Soundgarden, Depeche Mode, Dandy Warhols, Aphex Twin. Whatevers the right mood for the moment.

Movies:

Any/most

Television:

Don't really watch it. Background noise/news only. Unless the odd internet stream of Lost/House/Frisky Dingo.

Books:

Stuff with Vampires in. Stuff with Werewolves in. Stuff with Vamps and Werewolves mixing it up a bit. And Space Marines. And spaceships. Can't go wrong with spaceships in a book. Spaceships with vampires in. And Pirates. Vampire Space Pirates would be the bestest book evah.

Heroes:

Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky? He got an ice pick That made his ears burn Whatever happened to dear old Lenny? The great Elmyra, and Sancho Panza? Whatever happened to the heroes? Whatever happened to the heroes? Whatever happened to all the heroes? All the Shakespearoes? They watched their Rome burn Whatever happened to the heroes? Whatever happened to the heroes? No more heroes any more No more heroes any more Whatever happened to all the heroes? All the Shakespearoes? They watched their Rome burn Whatever happened to the heroes? Whatever happened to the heroes? No more heroes any more No more heroes any more
