I take part in various sports to various degrees of skill; my main ones at the moment are hockey and athletics.
I am interested in computing of all sorts, having experience in a wide range of environments and languages. I am familiar with MacOS, Windows and Linux systems, having some programming experience in all of them. My main programming langauges are C, C++ and Python; I have some experience with Common Lisp, scheme and Haskell, and know a little Eiffel and Javascript. I can generally make Latex and (X)HTML do what I want, but don't claim any great proficiency with these tools.
I am also very interested in so-called "interoperability" technologies such as CORBA and COM; I strongly believe that such things are the key to making software as reliable as it should be.
I spent a week in September 1997 clearing rhododendrons at Speke Hall, Liverpool.
