Hooray! Oh, and hello too.
I work from home in a small village called Onehouse in Suffolk.
Sounds like a very small village, but I think that's a misnomer.
I am an Objective-c programmer by choice and an electronics engineer by trade.
Objective-c was something on my list of stuff to learn, but it's now so far down the list it's unlikely to happen in this or the next life. Scheme is just so fast to learn ;-)
Family permitting I hope to attend some of the meets soon.
See you soon, hopefully...

Ooohhh, OK.
My name is David. I provide computing support to a humanities department at a University somewhere in south-east England.
I administer Netware, NT/95/98/2000, Solaris, Linux, OpenBSD and Macintrash boxen. None of them very well. Also, anything with a plug on it.
I am a big fan of Oracle Applications, NT Roaming Profiles, and IIS.
A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I was a Field Archaeologist, and have been responsible for introducing 22 tonne tracked excavators to some of Britain's less interesting Scheduled Ancient monuments.
Possibly my least interesting experience to date was trying to work out why `the internet isn't working' via mobile phone whilst standing on top of a Bronze Age barrow somewhere in the Fens.
On occasion I work in central (i.e. the sticks of) Sicily. I /was/ going to use this experience as the basis of an article on computing in the field. I /was/ expecting to do some nifty juggling with English modems, the Italian phone system and NAT/IP Masquerading, but when I arrived a very nice man just connected me to his 100Mbps switched network. Which was nice.
