Interests
I enjoy training and am a qualified Concept II rowing instructor. I also like walking and within a month of moving to Luton I had walked nearly every public path within a 10 mile radius of where I live. I have also completed my PADI Open Water diving qualification and hope to complete the Advanced Diver course some time in 2005.
I am also one of those lucky people who want to work in IT and are still interested in computing during their spare time. I was always taking things apart as a kid and I still do it only now its software, figuring out how things work takes up quite a bit of my spare time. My latest project is trying to figure out how large search engines work.
I enjoy most aspects of IT from low level programming to Systems Administration. I also get a kick out of helping people and I seem to be the guy friends invite around for tea then show a broken computer, I don't mind this as long as the foods good ;-)
