So, you want to know more about me? Probably not. Does anyone explore these links out of any real interest? Answers on a postcard, please...

Anyway, I'm 24 years old, born and brought up in North Wales in a little town called Abergele (take a look at what Knowhere says about it). I'm a fluent Welsh speaker who spend three years at UMIST in Manchester studying Computation (Computer Science with pretensions) and getting very drunk. Philips offered me a job after I graduated, and I started working at their research labs in Redhill, Surrey in July 1994. Since then, I've worked in the Interactive Systems group there on a variety of stuff. If you want to know more, take a look here.

If you're wondering what I look like, here's a photo. Click on either of these for a bigger image:

This is my girlfriend, Jasmine Yan, whom I love very much:

She works for the Philips Innovation Centre in Taipei, Taiwan, and we met when she spent three months working here at Redhill on a joint project. Lots of people ask me why I have a girlfriend who lives seven time zones away. Hey, it makes life interesting, if a little frustrating sometimes. The two of us, and one of her friends spent a week in Paris and Amsterdam in March - for those of you that know me, some photos from the trip are here.

That's it. Story of my life. Now you can go back to reading the (slightly) more interesting stuff.
