Welcome to my site. Some of you will notice (from the site name) that I
am an active Radio Amateur in the United Kingdom. I am a member of the
South Bristol Amateur Radio Club,
at which I am also a tutor for people wanting to pass the relavant
qualifications to obtain a license that allows them to transmit on the
Amateur bands. You can find out more about Amateur Radio by visiting
the Radio Society of Great Britain, which
I am also a member of.
Sailing is another of may favourite hobbies which I do regulary throughout the
summer down at Chew Valley Lake. Check out my

Computers play a big part in my life, both through work and recreation. I work for a
company near Bristol as a Computer Programmer. Over the years I have used many programming
languages such as C, C++, Java,
Python.

most of the Internet is run using Linux because it is very robust, easy to administor, and very
