I was a blood donor for many years, with 41 accredited donations. On 11th May 2012 I gave my first platelet donation. The UK Blood and Transplant Service prefers donors to give either whole blood or platelets, not both, so I guess I'm proud of ceasing to be a blood donor as of May 2012. Not really something to be proud of – sitting on my arse eating biscuits and drinking tea for a couple of hours – but if saving lives sitting on my arse eating biscuits is something to be proud of then yes, I'm proud. I gave 5 platelet donations (making 51 in total, platelet donations count double in the UK) then I had an MI. No connection but that's put paid to my platelet donations. Bugger.

I worked for Sun Microsystems until May 5, 2006, on which date they made me redundant after 11½ years. So if anyone has any job going for a Unix sysop and knowledge engineer in the UK (or possibly Germany), drop me an email... Ah well, worth a try.

I was nominated as an admin by Jimfbleak on 8 December, 2006. The nomination page is here.

I don't appear to be related to anyone famous, except possibly Kinmont Willie Armstrong but that's only what my mother has told me, and she tells lies.

In August 2012 I had a heart attack. This was treated by balloon angioplasty at York Hospital. Thanks to all involved with my treatment at that fine I know it's a {{}} but I'm biased institution, from ward cleaners to consultant cardiologists. As a result, this user is no longer able to love smoking. I'm not about to crusade against the evils of the weed, but it's not for me any more.
