I aim for code that is maintainable, accessible, re-usable, and semantic. Sure, none of these things are cool. But all of my work revolves around them regardless, because that is how I roll. Cool acronym, though.
I read mostly pop-science and maths books, non-fiction. I'm partial to both Terry Pratchett and PG Wodehouse. I read graphic novels to classics, comedy to tragedy. My favourite poet is Philip Larkin.
I have a nice stable of bikes (not enough though). Do you like bikes? I like bikes. I like riding my bikes. If you like bikes too, we could go for a ride! How about the Surrey Hills? They're my favourite. You know you want to.
Baking, photography, bellydance, running. I like comics, especially the niche ones, as I'm a bit of a hipster. Sorry. I like video games, too. I'm learning to spin poi, and I own a Suzuki VanVan motorbike.
You can also find me on LinkedIn, Flickr, Project Euler, and Steam. I play Urban Dead and Kingdom of Loathing (ID #2392571).
I do not own any TF2 iPod headphones.
