This thread is to enable members of the UK team to post brief profiles of themselves, (if they wish), to enable others to get to know and understand them better. Please only use one post and if anything alters or you wish to add anything please edit your post. I will make a start as a brief guide.

Male
----------------------------------------Age - 50 something. Occupation - 22 Years in the Royal Air Force, now enjoying a 2nd career as a Probation Officer. Running a Sandy Bridge i7 when I'm off work, and a Sandy Bridge i5 laptop whilst at work. As for hobbies, mainly depends on what I'm working, but I try to watch Barnsley FC as often as I can, and I devote far too much time & money on my cars (an MG ZT190 & a Mercedes Benz SLK350). I also detail cars for friends.  |

Sex: Yes
Age: Definitely Occupation: Retired IT professional (MBCS CITP) Hobbies: When I retired I not only stopped work but also quit my positions as a parish councillor (and sometime chairperson) and as the chair of a local charity. The only things I didn't stop doing were bell ringing and hill walking. But I then trained to teach bell ringing to others and I also took up beekeeping. I enjoy whisky, beer and wine, but very much in moderation. I wish I understood particle physics better than I do, and for some crazy reason I've started to learn Gàidhlig. |

Name: Dan
----------------------------------------Age: 37 Occupation: ISP Sysadmin for the last 9.5 years, after getting my BSc Maths what seems like half a lifetime ago. Hobbies: Board/card gaming, motor-racing (mainly watching, but used to do a bit of marshalling for a local(ish) small motor-racing event), reading, beer (very convenient having a good/quiet local pub only 50 metres away). Fears: Power cuts (somewhat less scary with a UPS at home, thankfully), the dreaded on-call phone for work. Farm: had to cut down quite a bit, recently, due to some equipment-shuffling in work, but currently running 1 x 8-core 2.4GHz VM and a 4-thread Xeon/P4 hybrid thing that's exceptionally old but reliably churns out the work-units. Plans are afoot to add to the farm considerably...  |
