Andrew Rawlins

I am employed as a Systems Administrator for a large electrical component company based in Leeds. Previousouly I have worked for Northern Rail, Elder Studios and before that I was the Data Manager at the National Plant Phenomics Center along with other systems type roles at Aberystwyth University. As for the fermit.org.uk - named after a toy green frog in 1996 - back when you could do such things on the internet.. Hobbies include being an active member of the Corris Railway where I am lucky enough to be able to teach people how to fire and drive steam locomotivess. Given I quite like a pint of real ale at the end of the day I am a member of the Campaign for Real Ale. My amateur radio callsign is M6OTL.

As time has passed, some of this is a little out of of date, I keep anything new I write on GitHub. I've kept some of the older stuff here for historic reasons, it really has been here a really long time.
