I live in Leamington Spa and I work as Computer Systems Programmer at
the department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick.
Digg, Twitter, Facebook etc. links here.
Some of my interests...
Computing
I'm a Linux user, I use Ubuntu on my home machines and RedHat on the machines at work. I follow kernel development on LWN and have read a couple of books about it.
I'm interested in Open Source and Open standards, almost everything I use software wise is Open Source.
When I want to program something I generally use PHP, Javascript or Bash. I know some other languages but don't tend to use them much.
I take a interest in security and I have reported a couple of security holes which were in udev (in RHEL4, Fedora 2 & 3) and phpMyAdmin.

Music
I used to have a list of what I listen to here, but it gets out of date, so instead look at my LastFM page.
I've been to the Glastonbury (2000, 2002 & 2003), Reading (1999, 2001, 2002 & 2004), V (2004) festivals and Creamfields (2006) festivals.
Writing etc.
I've got a blog and occasionally write some good comments on Hacker News. You can also catch me on Twitter.
