Just another incarnation of my web site

My name is 'nic' (Nicolas James Doye), I am 38, married, male, vegetarian (ex- vegan), childhood cancer survivor, Catholic convert and father of two. I enjoy cycling, and a little bit of running (both slowly).

Work:

I am a coder/escaped sysadmin. During the daytime, I work as a Reporting Systems Engineer at Ericsson. Obviously, I don't speak for them, etc.

Politics:

Confused, centre-left, greenish, not liberal. I support Make Votes Count because "one 'man' one vote" should mean something.

Digital Freedom:

I believe in Free Software. I believe in the rights to copy and back-up my own CDs, DVDs, etc. so I support the EFF. DRM sucks. I am against software-patents as they help no-one.

Geekery:

My RHCE (in RHEL3) has now expired. I am an Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate though. I mainly use Fedora Red Hat / CentOS and sometimes use Ubuntu or SUSE. I like Perl, Groovy, Grails, Java, Spring PostgreSQL, Oracle. and JBoss.

Ordinary:

I'm really just an ordinary bloke. I'm not as nice, dull or serious as the above might suggest. I'm also human - I don't live up to my own standards. Oh well,... :-)
