About MeI write a little, but I'm still such an amateur it'll need rather a lot of work to get anywhere near decent. Play bass, and seriously need to work on my composition skills if I'm to warrant the use of the kickarse equipment I've got.I should probably make some kind of effort to learn HTML or something too. I seem to be around computers way too much not to. My InterestsSubversive weirdness, Pretending to be an intellectual, Giving drunken lectures on the virtue and greatness of the EZLN (thankfully rarely - avoid drink children, it's bad for you) to people who are so drunk themselves they actually listen..., playing bass, reading, writingMusicNine Inch Nails, One Minute Silence, Vast, Rage Against the Machine, Nightwish, Pitchshifter, A Perfect Circle, Filter, The A-Team Theme Tune (yes really), z'ev, Mitch Benn, Weapons, Siskin, Guano Apes, Negativland, ChiasmMoviesSerenity, Dark City, La Haine, Virtual Nightmare, The Big Lebowski, Alien, O Brother Where Art Thou?, Dune (John Harrison's version), An Inconvenient Truth, Festen, Airplane, Airplane 2, Thank You For SmokingTelevisionBlack Books, The Simpsons, Firefly, The Office, Fry and Laurie (anything by/with them), Andy Richter Controls The Universe, The IT Crowd, That Mitchel and Webb Look, Peep Show, Boston Legal, Stargate, Mostly I listen to the comedy re-runs on the BBC these days.BooksKropotkin: Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution, Jorge Luis Borges: Labyrinths: Selected Stories and Other Writings, The Complete Short Stories of Ambrose Bierce, China Mieville: Perdido Street Station, Terry Pratchett: Interesting Times, Proudhon: What is Property?, Any of the Culture books by Iain M.

Box Hill
Mickleham, Surrey UK Boring and bougois, but I was there for 5 years so I had to tolerate it (till I finished GCSEs). Never go to a public school (or private, if your from the US - not sure why we call it that). Collyer's Horsham, Sussex UK Last 2 years of my pre-university education were here. Not too bad. Some cool teachers and some fun subjects. Plus, didn't have to pay like the last one, which is anathema to me. And ducks, ducks are anathema too. University of Sussex Intellectual History From 2006 Through [current] Brighton, Sussex UK The Course JOBS
MIG 'Testing and reporting engineer' (i.e.: phone testing monkey)
From October 2005 Through March 2006 London UK You all just wish you could work here. Testing mobiles, a little messing about with a URL interface, all whilst laughing at all the morons who send in messages to an AUTOMATED system (what do they think 'your message was not recognised' means?). The only place where you can get your boss blind drunk - literally. Buzznet Intern A few weeks in June/July '06 Los Angeles, California US Fun place, probably the only reason I started to post stuff. Great people to work with as well. I always felt like I wasnt doing enough work for some reason. |
