Some info about myself:

I got introduced to the #pub by Aarn during 1995 as we had adjacent desks at the time ...... and now I manage the IT systems for our office, the #pub still somehow manages to appear on a screen near me.... although I usually end up /away from it as many 12:30-2:30pm (GMT) #pubbers will know. I have only managed to attend one #pub gathering so far, but we both hope to make more in the future...

I am married to DragnLady and we have 3 youngsters that keep us far too busy. Music is a major activity in our household, we all play more than one instrument (mine are violin and the bodhran - the Irish folk music drum). There is also a (very loud!) drum kit, electric and acoustic guitar, and a synthesiser keyboard linked to the PC, as well as piano, more violins, recorders etc..etc..

My interests include skiing - but only 1 week a year :( - IRCing (on #pub of course!), computing (to maintain the IRC fix!!), caravanning - I totally rebuilt our classic caravan in 1986 (and it was 30 years old then!) - we use it several times a year and I ususally find a few jobs/improvements to make each spring/summer, and the hobby/interest I got my nick from, kiting, particularly sport kites and power kites. My own collection is in excess of 40 from many different parts of the world. I am a member of the Midlands Kite Flyers, the largest Kite Club in the UK with somewhat over 1000 members. I think this is a subconcious escape from the general noise and chaos of the rest of my life! (see above....). I also belong to 41 Club, an association for ex-Round Table Memebers.
