I am a Computer Programmer living in West Sussex, England and working in London. I have been a Wikipedia editor since 23rd January 2004, and Wikipedia reader for much longer.
My main interests lie in the areas of computers, cars, and heavy metal/rock music. My pet hates include the Crawley Fastway, which I consider a sickening waste of public money. I created but now attempt to avoid editing the Crawley Fastway page (with varying degrees of success), since most of my edits require major NPOV work. Some of my more contstructive edits can be seen below, or on my contributions page (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Akadruid).
I am a founding member of the WikiProject:Automobiles
