Hi. I'm James.
I'm a student, and in my spare time I work as web application consultant. I'm studying computer science at Royal Holloway, University of London. I have interests in flight, genetic and adaptive algorithms, neural networks, theatrical lighting and sound, and live audio engineering.
My blog and personal web page can be found here, which includes write-ups of some of my spare-time projects. The contact page on my blog also lists ways to get in touch with me, though for hackspace I'm in the hackspace IRC.
I don't tend to be at the hackspace often on account of distance (I live in Oxfordshire most of the time, Egham when I'm at uni- 2 hours journey time in either case) but I tend to do a lot of hacking at home; I've got a fairly well-stocked personal collection and too much time.
