About Me

I have a website which also has a blog, photos and further information. Check out royaltech,net for the latest entries and updates. Otherwise, look to the left and peruse my interests.

My Interests

Listening and playing electronica, quality hip-hop. I played on the same bill as Luke Slater and Fatboy Slim, I'm not sure if the latter is something to be proud of.

Cooking, dining and typical food and wine geekery.

Cricket - all day, everyday, winter, summer, playing it first and foremost.

Travelling, somewhere new, somewhere hot, somewhere cold, somewhere where the people don't speak any English. Next stop Cambodia, Laos and Thailand.

Lexicography, vexillography, letterforms and typefaces. Oh, I'll whoop your posterior when it comes to Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone in general and noone in particular. Consider yourself inspirational? You've probably got an invite to the dinner party, as long as you're bringing a great bottle of red.
