(The Homepage of Nick Burch)
Welcome to the home of much of my collected online works. While my normal day-to-day wibblings take place in my journal, most of the rest of my stuff ends up here. Be that my photos, my writings, my notes on various computing things, or something else entirely. Chances are, it might well be here.
On your left you'll find a navigation bar. This handy thing will guide you around the main parts of the site. In modern browsers (i.e. those that understand the css directive "position:fixed"), it should float about in a friendly yet disconcerting manner. In old browsers, it will remain fixed, but hopefully somewhere sensible on the left hand side. Text mode browsers, screen readers and the like will probably find it at the bottom of the page. Otherwise, it could be anywhere....
Me
As it so helpfully says above, this is the homepage of Nick Burch. Now,
rumour has it that there may be several people of that name in existence,
which is just plain inconvenient. Some of them have even been know to
email me about this very fact. So, the Nick Burch whose website this
is currently resides in Oxford, and used to attend
Magdalen College. He was
at one point a 4th year Computational
Chemist in
the
Madden Group, at the end of which he wrote his
Masters Thesis. Finally,
about four years ago, he stopped being a student, and enter the real world
by working for Torchbox,
a web / java / xml / etc firm just north of Oxford. He currently works as a
both a senior developer and a systems administrator type person, having a
great time doing all manner of different projects.
On the personal front, he married
Hilary on the 16th
of July 2005, following a 18 month engagement.
For general information on what I'm up to at the moment, your best bet is to look at my LiveJournal. It tends to be updated somewhat more often than this page does!
