Computer setup

I'm a software developer living in London, UK. I've been a Wikipedian since May 2005, and amassed in excess of 11,000 edits. Following a successful request for adminship I became an Administrator in February 2006. I took something of an extended wikibreak from 2008 but returned to the project in 2015.
