My real name is Richard Terry. I am a self-employed web developer and linux sysadmin, and although fluent in many, my languages of choice are Perl and JavaScript. Take a look at my other website for more on that stuff, at uzeweb.com.
In 2004 I graduated from Bath University with a 2:1 in Computer Science, and since then have been self-employed, working on projects large and small. I have also started going through the long list of things I have wanted to do in the past, but for which there hasn't been time; I am developing an open source development framework and content management system, and working on several other personal projects, some of which are in my projects section.
Although born in Kent (UK), I have lived in Bath and Cornwall, and currently live in Cheltenham with my lovely girlfriend Leela. When I'm not working on the computer, I'm still often sat at it - surfing the internet, spodding, or complaining about the spam. I used to play quite a bit of music - piano, violin, organ and some other stuff. When I was small, I even sang in the school choir (oh the shame). However, since I moved it has all been in storage, and I've never made time to sort it out.
Sport is not my thing, assuming Quake and Grand Theft Auto aren't classified as sports. I don't drink, I don't smoke and I don't go clubbing, so if any of those things are important to you I'm probably quite boring. However, I do enjoy travelling - I have been to Yugoslavia, Italy, Spain, France, America (California, Nevada and Hawaii), South Africa, Geneva, Scotland, and the Canary Islands, with plans for several others in the near future.
I build my own computers and enjoy watching DVDs. I very rarely use eBay, and post on Slashdot even less frequently. I have a mobile phone and a Rio Carbon MP3 player. I don't like spiders, but I do like chocolate. I don't mind the idea of DRM, just that in practice it stops me doing what I want with something I have paid for. I read Sluggy, I get my bread from Sainsburys, and I buy my DVDs at play.com. My left eye prescription is 5. I have a Swiss army knife. I am not bald.
Excellent. Now you can go read my diary to find out what I've been up to recently.
