I'm a rocket scientist OMG! Well, I did spent quite a chunk of my life devoted to particle physics...

I've just started a new job doing all sorts of virtualisation and cloud computing stuff. In the past I've also been a Ruby developer and a quant.

Cool stuff

Just started a job building CloudFoundry related stuff, learning lots of interesting things and honing my unix and ruby-fu. Luckily I still find the time to do some Clojure in my spare time, sing in a community choir, and learn to play the pipe organ. I'm also getting into electronic music and synths.

Interests

Programming (Ruby and Clojure mainly)
Music, especially contemporary organ music and improvisation, minimalism, and counterpoint
Web development (Ruby on Rails, HTML5, CSS, JS, Sinatra...)
Photography (film & digital)
Arduino
Amateur radio (Callsigns: M0GXD, EA4FYQ)
Outdoors, trekking, climbing
Coffee and beer

Current projects

Getting to plug my MIDI controllers to overtone and make it do music for me
Getting the weather station to tweet LHS car park weather updates
Learning Clojure and node.js

Projects on hold

Maths! (Algebra and Number Theory mainly)
Play with the Z80 CPU
Design&build a vintage-style computer based on the Z80
Darkroom photography
Common Lisp
Build a lisp for the arduino

Previous projects

Tiny web forum in Common Lisp
PockeTerm

At some point...

Homebrewing
Coffee roasting
Getting serious about studying counterpoint

My other selfs
