Computer setup

I'm a software developer living in London, UK. I've been a Wikipedian since May 2005, and amassed in excess of 10,000 edits because I have absolutely no life. Following a successful request for adminship I became an Administrator in February 2006, and because I am such a pathetic individual, I patrol the pages of Wikipedia because it makes me feel like my life actually has worth. On another note, I am also extremely [[1]], which if you don't know what that means, is because I deleted that page. Welcome to Wikipedia, and have a nice bloody day!
