... Justin de-lurks ...

I'm British, my first school was a French maternelle, and my wife is German. I attended the European School in Oxfordshire, then did a Mechanical Engineering degree at Surrey University. I worked on a multimedia Physics educational software project for three years since graduating and I now work for a computer consultancy near London.

I was born in Chester, England, on April 9th 1971, just after decimalization of the British coinage.
At an early age I was exposed to the wonderful world of Model Railways. I am interested in building model cottages and wagons and other things in small scale.
We had a computer from about 1982 - a BBC Micro. A great piece of kit.
At school, German was the only thing I failed (and look where that got me!)
I met God after two weeks at University. "The foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength" (1 Corinthians 1:25).
One of my current interests is Computer-graphics, particularly the computationally expensive varieties such as ray-tracing and radiosity. I don't claim to be very good at it, but the aim is realism.
