About me: I’ve been a mac user since 1993 until about 2010. I have owned three in that time.
But I got a bit fed up with Apple around then and switched to windows though I have been working my way back into the Linux world again. I work for the NHS where I spend my time analysing data for them which while not particularly thrilling has taught me a thing or two about databases.
I like my music, anything from trance to death metal. Have a look through my CD collection. I update it every now and again, but it should give you an idea of the sort of thing i’m into.
