Personal

I read, write - seriously, poetry 'n' stuff too - listen to music in fits and spurts, I broadcast, host and entertain. I keep up to date on IT and security topics, especially the latest news in the industry, I give time to charities in a number of ways, and I occasionally grace the dog with a long walk. I sometimes marathon a whole show or series of movies, but don't spend a lot of time looking for new stuff... These are the only things I can call "hobbies".

I live with my partner, our two kids, a dog and a cat. I've also got a  couple of hedgehogs under the wood shed, but they're not technically ours, I suppose.

I have weaponised ADHD and suffer occasionally with the effects of bipolar disorder; the latter of which is not particularly impactful when the former is managed properly. Took quite a while to work that out, unfortunately.
