I'm into computer programming (especially operating systems - my own, Whitix, is fairly functional) - and computer science (complexity theory in particular) interests me at the moment. I think P != NP and I'm trying my best to help solve the problem at Qeden. I'm also quite interested in mathematics and music. My favourite genre of music is alternative rock, and my favourite bands are Pixies, Nirvana and Hüsker Dü. I've seen plenty of bands in concert and I have a Last.fm account.[1].
In the future, I'm looking to study computer science at Bristol University, Imperial College London or Cambridge University. My AS results were AAAB, so I'm part of the way there :)
If you are looking for my userboxes, they have been moved to my talk page.
I have made numerous contributions to Wikipedia - and I am currently active. I'm happy to help anyone to get up to speed with contributing to Wikipedia - everyone has something to contribute. I recently rewrote Pixies and promoted it to featured status (all votes were supports!).
