  • Be as independent as possible.
  • Provide a safe and loving environment for my nearest and dearest.

    • and

  • stay out of everyone’s business as they stay out of mine.

To be missed when I’m no longer around.
 

That's about it really. I'm a bloke of simple tastes, and really don't require too many of the trappings of life to feel happy. If I think of anything else that may be remotely interesting about me, then I'll put it here.

If you're after some examples of what I do on computers, check out my portfolio pages for some examples of what I've been up to.



Eeek, it's me!
Yes it's me
