my little part of the cosmos

I've been on internet chat since the mid 1990s using various nicks and am the manager of channel #thevillage. We have a mix of people from various parts of the world including USA, UK, Canada, Holland, Israel, Germany, France and Australia. The owners of the room are enid and ren. I created the website http://theircvillage.net/ using Adobe DreamWeaver as an HTML/CSS website, with mibbit as the chat client, featuring a gallery of channel regulars.

Born in 1967, educated in England and lived in various parts of the country, mostly London, what you might call a hacker if you were being polite or otherwise a bit of a nerd. I had some fun writing a C compiler which had quite respectable sales until Microsoft produced one for free, but which I am nevertheless still developing as an ongoing project. I have worked in various tech jobs including database programming
