Interests:

• Camping & Hiking

  • Usually solo, but I will enjoy a challenging Mountain Hike with anyone. My skill level is probably moderate to advanced scrambling.
  • Camping: - a tent is usually used when camping, but using a tent does not mean that you are camping.

• "Munro bagging"

  • I have mostly finished the Lake District and have now set myself personal challenge to climb all Scottish Munro Mountains - if anyone wants to join me in this, contact me - some of the more difficult Munros need more than just me.
  • My future aim is for the Inaccessible Pinnacle.

• Science Fiction/Fantasy and classic Literature

  • Dune, The Night's Dawn Trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, Discworld Series.
  • Currently enjoying Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse.

• LaTeX, Linux, and Matlab

  • I really don't like Microsoft products - using them is like only gesticulating to a computer to try to communicate, rather than telling a computer exactly what you want in a common language.
  • Matlab made my life much more simple after years of C++.

• Coffee

  • Coffee + Mathematician = Mathematics.
