Personally I am interested in Linguistics, Philosophy, Archaeology, Psychology, Mathematics, and am recently in the thrall of economists (at the cost of simple answers to big problems)

For fun: I read a lot, enjoy theatre, real ale, hiking, travel, listening to music and I take great pleasure in being a geek (but not a nerd).

    Great Site – I’ve just found this.

    I’m planning building upto four of these pods for backup/iSCSI SAN applications in a medium sized enterprise scenario…

    I’ll be keeping an eye on your progress :)
