Bank of America network engineer - oh yes it's all very interesting stuff :angry: snore...

Whenever you get junk mail from MBNA, or from Virgin, or from Alliance and Leicester, or Abbey, or god knows how many other credit cards, I've been a part of filling your doormat with ****.

Whenever you ring the companies above to speak to a human, and you get an infuriating automated (IVR) to talk to instead - that's me again.

When you get cold called in the middle of your favourite TV program by some annoying sales bloke - yep, I provide the connectivity for those diallers.

And a few other bits and pieces that rather than annoy you would probably bore you to tears :D

Work for myself making Bespoke Gates/Doors and garden furniture. Been doing it for years now and allows me to sneak off Thursday afternoons on the Trials bike with the lads.

Just me on my own now but thats how I like it, not much stress and worry and Ralph comes and has a coffee most days. Workshop is only half mile from home so nice and close as well, if anyone knows Oxford, driving anywhere is a nightmare

Student. I'm studying English with Creative Writing down here in Cornwall (I know, I was surprised I could do a degree down here as well).

I've not always been a bum though, I used to work in Software Development for a fairly reputable firm in Soho.

Just a nerd code monkey. C++, C# and Java.

Oh, and achieving total and absolute control of the planet through the global broadcasting of subliminal brainwashing messages subtly embedded into looped episodes of "Eldorado". But that's just a weekend thing.

Consultant for global software firm dealing with designing solutions around data availability and regulatory compliance. Basically I design data backup, high availability (clustering, mirroring and replication of data) and archiving solutions for enterprise customers. If I go any deeper into what I do it would bore you senseless. It pays the mortgage, pays for the scoob and lets me have this site - that's all that matters :angry:

Plus it allows you to burp on a mouse over.

Also the adventures to the US of A and taste Al's apple juice.
