chewi@aura-online.co.uk BioI come from Jersey. That's the original Jersey. None of this New Jersey rubbish. I don't live there anymore though. I spent my first eighteen years there before moving on to university in Durham. That's the original Durham. None of this North Carolina rubbish. I spent two years there, a year abroad in Strasbourg, France, and then another year in Durham before graduating with a 2:2 in Computer Science. This brings me to the present. I now live in Perth, Scotland (not Australia) where I work from home, mostly through a web design agency.
Ummm... can't be arsed to rewrite the middle bit now.
I'm also rather passionate about a certain non-Microsoft operating system. *grins* Many people roll their eyes at me when I mention this but understand that my passion does not come solely from a technical perspective. My anti-capitalist sentiments help to fuel my deep resentment for Microsoft. I would like to see a much more widespread use of Linux, especially in places such as schools, where extortionate licence fees are draining them of finances that could be much better spent elsewhere. And my distribution of choice? It has to be Gentoo Linux!
