I play with an early music band called Skeleton Crew

	PicaSim - Flight simulator for radio control aircraft, available on Android, iOS and Windows.
	My cello.
	I play the concertina.
	Various photos, mostly of wildlife around Coburg (and more recently Frankfurt Am Main) in Germany where I used to work for Crytek on Crysis.
	I spent 3 years at Reading University Meteorological Department studying for a PhD, and subsequently 2 years working as a post-doc researching the effects of turbulence in the atmosphere around weather fronts.
	Whilst trying to transcribe a piece of music I was forced to resort to writing some programs to analyse it using wavelets, which turned out to be pretty interesting, especially as I was able to use the same software for my meteorological work too!
	I tried playing stringy things for a while, but didn't get very far. This coincided with my rediscovery of programming, so I wrote this Windows application for calculating chord shapes.
	I've looked after quite a lot of very nice rats over a number of years (though I have none at the moment)...
	I've written a flight simulator for R/C model gliders (though it's flexible enough to cover helicopters and sledges too!).
	Simulating physical objects is really interesting - I wrote this rigid body simulator to try out a way of going about it.
	A much better rigid-body experiment.
	My current (and best!) physics library/demo (work in progress).
	My fluid dynamics demo (work in progress).
	Rendering complex scenery from a fixed viewpoint (work in progress... sort of).
	Some simple character movement code using Verlet integration.
	Some comments on my HP iPAQ hw6916 Mobile Messenger
	Some links to other web sites.
