Consummate tinkerer living in sunny #Brighton UK.

By day I am one of those people that "does something with computers".

(The #baking of bread may also be involved.)

By night I may be found wandering around #NoMansSky or #ElderScrollsOnline, building stupid things in both.

At the weekends I'm either freeing the magic blue smoke from electronica or tinkering with something until it breaks.

Had a #PGP key since 2006 and no-one has ever used it.
