About
29 year old based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Developer of websites, helper of the helpless & defender of all that is good (The first one is true anyway).
I enjoy being in sunny climates, reading and spending time with friends (none of which I do often enough). I watch very little tv. Scrubs, Stargate, Top Gear & the News pretty much covers what I see on the old idiot-box.
I like discussing serious topics as well as complete gibberish when appropriate with people who can appreciate both. I spend far too much time in front of my computer, drink far too much coffee and listen to an awful lot of music. I don't drive as I don't believe it makes sense buying a car to get one person about (seems a bit of a waste), but I am in the market for a motorbike.
I studied music in tech, played drums in loads of bands for a few years and then decided I'd make a better programmer than musician. I have a few friends who still play in bands around the place and I love going to see them play.
