Software Developer and Free Software advocate.

I am a 30-year-old father of two, Connagh (3) and Callum (1 month), married to Michelle. Currently living and working from home in Derby, with a view to moving to South Africa at some point in the hopefully-not-too-distant future.

I started using Slackware Linux (Slackware '96) on an old 486 I got from a skip while I was still at Middlesex University back in 1997, wanting a free Unix-based OS on which to develop a MUD. Eventually it found its way onto my "proper" computer, which went through several hardware upgrades and is now my external web/mail/DNS server. Upon joining South Derbyshire LUG, I was convinced of the merits of switching to Debian, in spite of its reputation as a hacker's distribution, and my external server and my intranet server now both run Debian Sarge.
