Short Autobiography
- I was born in 30 Woodburn terrace, Edinburgh on the 29th of May 1990 AD (53 ADC). At the age of two I moved to 4 Falcon Gardens, Edinburgh and attended St. Peters Primary School. At eight I moved to 4 Lenny road, Deanston, Perthshire and attended Doune Primary School. At twelve I move to the Wood of Doune, Doune, Perthshire and soon there after attended McLaren High School in Callander. In 2003 a group of friends and I (including Whadsisname) formed the band “The Flying Foxtrots”, in 2004 the drummer left and the band dropped the name The Flying Foxtrots (the new name "Captain Ricochet" was decided upon in 2006), the band is currently writing songs and looking for gigs, our first EP "Hooray For Captain Ricochet" is currently on sale. Since May the 28th 1999 I have been a member of the JKA and I am currently a 1st Que. I am all so very interested in computers (and gaming) and think they are fantastic when they work!.

Explanations
I play bass in the band Captain Ricochet, some of our songs can be found here on Bebo bands: [1]. and here at SoundClick: [2]
The Order Of The Broadabytes is an anti-religious pressure group I founded and run. I won't go in to details (see the website for details) but basically The Broadabytes are a group of Atheists that believe religion is bad for humanity in general and aim to stop religion influencing politics, laws and every day life.
The Broadabytes site is located here: The Order of the Broadabytes but is currently incomplete.
Fursona
As you may have seen from my user-boxes I'm part of the furry fandom community. Most people in the furry community have a Fursona and I am no exception. It took me along time to decided on a fursona but i finally settled on a Tiger, a White Tiger to be more specific and to be even more pedantic a Niveus Panthera Tigris. I chose a tiger because physically I'm not exactly light and because tiger is the representative animal of Karate, my marshal art and I have large red horizontal marks/stripes on my back.
The DC System:
In my autobiography above I mention I was born in 53 ADC (or 1990). This is me using the DC system of dating events as appose to the Christian calendar. I do this because as a secular atheist I believe there are far more important events in history than the birth of Jesus (anyway Jesus was not born on December the 25th 1 AD) so I have chosen to use the birth of the digital computer as a dating point. The digital computer (The Atanasoff-Berry Computer) was invented in 1937 by John Atanasoff and was capable of solving 29 simultaneous linear equations. Therefore we are living in 70 ADC where ADC and BDC are:
- BDC – Before Digital Computing
- ADC – After Digital Computing
The 100th anniversary of digital computing will be 100 ADC or 2037.
