Bio
Don't pass my contact details on to Plaxo.
If you use Plaxo to store your address book, please remove my name and any email addresses you have for me.
20th October 2005: Just got an email from [info]plaxoprivacyguy, who is paid by Plaxo to trawl the web and find paragraphs like the one above and browbeat people into agreeing that Plaxo is safe. He obviously forgot that he's attempted it before (Feb 2005), and I suggest that next time he happens across this page, he goes to read our previous interactions and refrains from contacting me again.

I'm middle-aged. I'm overweight. I'm British. I'm male. I'm a geek. I'm an SF fan, and a fan of SF fandom. I'm a poet and a slash writer. I'm a Christian. I'm a Conservative. I'm a Freemason. I'm a pervert.

Professionally, I'm a freelance computer network systems engineer, with a peculiar fondness for firewalls and mail servers. I've recently helped design and build an information security management system and a business continuity solution for small and medium businesses, and we're looking for new clients. If you want to consult me about either of those, about sorting out your computer problems or rebuilding your network infrastructure, then give me a shout and I'll see what I can do.

Socially, I'm primarily part of SF Fandom in Britain and more especially in and around London and the south-east of England, although I have occasional fannish forays further afield. I've been know to occasionally participate in some conrunning. I was until recently on the committee of ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha, the official Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy fan club. Join up while you still have the chance.

Additionally I'm a Christian, very interested in ecumenism and while locally I'm a member of the United Reformed Church, I maintain links to the Church of England and the Methodist Church. I take an interest in what LGCM are doing, and wrinkle my nose occasionally at the Roman Catholics.

I'm involved in the Conservative Party, and they keep trying to persuade me to do more. I managed to persuade them that I won't make myself available as a candidate in the recent local elections.

I'm also involved in Freemasonry, both Craft and Royal Arch.

You can infer more about me by looking at the list of my interests, and by looking at the communities of which I'm a member. I'm a moderator for [info]_out_of_context, [info]distraction_con, [info]obscene_filkers, [info]towel_fu, [info]united_perverts and [info]world_of_if.

Personally -- I've recently been seeing rather a lot of [info]julia_winolj, which is proving very pleasant for both of us and totally confusing for me since I'd known her for about fifteen years without actually spotting that this sort of thing could happen.

What some people have said about me:
  • [info]scarlatti says Well, for a start, you're totally wonderful and brilliant and gorgeous and talented...but then again, I may be just the tiniest bit biased in this area.
  • [info]gummitch says Some people are just better subjects than others. Your [info]dougs is really quite photogenic.
  • [info]katiemariie says You're possibly the most melodramatic person ever. You write an excellent angsty-Hawkeye-in-poem. You look like a young Santa Claus.
  • [info]ang_grrr says He's naughty, but I like him.
  • [info]fattyc calls me A pie-eating monster.
  • [info]purple_peril enjoys Experiencing the Amazing Vibrating [info]dougs.
  • [info]moira_mae says Do you think [info]dougs is hot? Yes, in a I-barely-know-him-and-I'm-in-a-committed-relationship-but-he's-a-nice-person-and-a-geek-and-seems-to-have-a-good-sense-of-humour-and-those-are-big-turn-ons-for-me kind of a way. I'd like to get to know him better.
  • [info]hawkida says If anyone had described Doug to me as a Christian Freemason with a penchant for most things pervy and a knack for bad puns I probably wouldn't have particularly wanted to get to know him. I'm glad nobody did.
  • [info]seph_hazard says Darling, your powers of Wrong never cease to amaze me.
  • [info]johncoxon thinks I'm evidently awesome at extreme levels.
  • [info]the_mendicant says I'd do [info]dougs for Tupperware.
