When I registered on these forums I introduced myself over on the village pump but not here, so it may seem to some that I've just appeared out of thin air. Apologies for that.

My name is Simon, 39 yrs old, from Buckinghamshire. (feels a bit like the start of blind date, this)
I used to be in a band (bit psychedelic, bit prog, space rock kind of stuff) who had a small record deal but I now make a living out of computer programming. I've been reading about and visiting sites for about 10 years.

So, er, hello! It's nice to be here. ;)
