Erstwhile IT-type retooling for wires-and-pliers. Occasional hiker, aperiodic XC skier, aspiring sailor, sometime bassist, and confirmed menace to potted plants. Bookish. Cat person. Dislikes spectator sports except women's rugby. Latent goth, overfond of dark clothing, dark music, and better absinthe than I can afford. Quietly miserable, often tired and overwrought. Affinity for '70s and '80s minicomputers and a few operating systems which ran thereon. Building a Level 1 HPR Cert rocket.
