Having taken an extended break, I'm now occasionally visiting again, although not often, and not engaging in extended interactions. If you want to get in touch then my friends at Solipsys Ltd have provided me with an email address. I can be emailed at my HN username at solipsys, a >CO<mpany in the >UK<.

I'm interested in math, programming, physics, science, engineering, technical communication, and cool stuff. I travel a lot in the UK and elsewhere, and it would be cool to meet up.

Happy to receive emails anytime.
