Steve has ensured that I go for a mammoth 3 blog postings in one day, as I spread the 5 things you didn’t know meme:
- After graduating from UCL in 2003, I won a graduate scholarship with the British Institute in East Africa, a research body who conduct Archaeological, Historical and Geographic research in East Africa. I got the chance to work in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, and got my first exposure to sordid world of GIS and surveying, helping run mapping and surveying projects in Laikipia and Engaruka.
- I have a strange aversion to honey-comb and some other organic materials that have repeating patterns. The aversion is so servere that I have not been able to research the problem on the web for fear of seeing an image of a honey-comb
- I have always had an interest in music, playing the saxophone and piano and have experimented with electronic production, under the producer alias CubicSphere. More recently I’ve turned to Djing and organised a night last year.
- In 2002 I was the Treasurer of ARSE – The Association of Ramsay Street Enthusiasts – a ULU society that I started with the aim of diverting as much cash from the University of London’s coffers into my body via beer. The union were bankrupt that year due to administrative ineptness, so the project died. The Freshers Fayre was fun though.
- I have a long-standing problem with authority, which has always caused me trouble and has recently manifested into a tendency to argue with the police. They nearly always deserve it!
I choose…

Yes – too true, revealing my Achilles Heal and all that. My flat mate suggested autism, but you kind of get the impression that by 24 I’d have been diagnosed already. And the fact that I show no other symptoms…
Can I escape the wrath of 5 things because of the typo in my name? :p
Nope – edited
