User:Robhogg

Hello, all.

Decided to add something here, just in case you're curious.

I have just passed 40 (2008). I live in Leeds, West Yorkshire, in the North of England. For most of my working life I have been employed in care work, most recently a 10-year stint with Social Services in residential mental health. However, I have now moved into IT work, and am employed by the city Council's Library and Information Service.

I am currently studying IT and Computing with the Open University. I am keen on the Open Source software movement, and have recently started atteding West Yorkshire Linux Users Group meetings. I am involved with Leeds Coalition Against the War and, from time to time, other campaigning activity. I read widely, including a lot of sci-fi, and am a little too obsessed with Babylon 5 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Quotes

In place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, we shall have an association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.		This earth divided we will make whole So it may be a common treasury for all.		Be patterns, be examples in all countries, places, islands, nations,wherever you come, that your carriage and life may preach among all sorts of people, and to them; then you will come to walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in every one
