About Me

I currently work as a Broadcast Systems Engineer for the BBC in Television Centre, London. In my spare time I throw myself down hills on a mountain bike, down caves on a rope and other silly pursuits... Involved with various IPTV projects and DVB multiplexing for the UK as well as European satellite operations.

• 512MB DDR RAM
• 320Gb Seagate Barracude SATA HDD (/ - ext3; /store - xfs)
