Your personal background.
ME! ME! ME!

I live in the UK, as you probably guessed. I'm a biker, what most uninformed people would refer to as a "greb", "grebo", "greaser" etc. Like most bikers, I do my best to help others less fortunate, hence being part of Rosetta. I'm also a vegetarian as opposed to a vegan (who dont eat any animal products whatsoever), I eat eggs and milk. I cant abide those vegetarians who try to mystify it by using such terms as - ovo/lactic - etc, usually americans. Also cant abide people who class themselves as vegetarian but eat fish!!!!

I am currently disabled, due to being totalled on my vmax 1200 by a trainee bus driver, smashing my left leg very badly! As a result I am awaiting a m8 modifying a trike for me to use.


Current hobbies include:

  • Photography
  • Computers and anything related to them ( I have a home network that includes - Apple mac powerbook, 2 hand built desktop pc, 2 inkjet printers running on a print server, a network capable printer/fax/copier/scanner, wireless broadband access point and wireless/ethernet router ).
  • Reading ( do a lot of this at the moment as I cant drive, work, walk unaided. I have a extensive library/several bookcases full of a variety of books, fiction and factual. Main fiction is horror/thriller/humour ).
  • Gardening
  • Anything to do with bikes (riding, modifying, going to races etc)






We also have
9 cats, a dog, 2 chinchillas and a load of fish in 2 ponds.

I run Seti@Home and Rosetta as well as Einstein on my Apple mac powerbook

Your opinions about Einstein@Home
I run Einstein@home for the same reasons I run Seti and Rosetta, I think that my computer should be doing something other than just word processing, making music and playing games (mainly selfish/self-centred usage); something that can help us all to find out more about our world and universe; to try and contribute something, however small, to helping others.
