Hi, I'm Pete and this is my bit of online breathing space.

I spend most of my time doing research and a bit of teaching at the University of Birmingham. In case you're more interested in my academic work, I maintain an site about that at prlewis.com.

In my spare time, I'm also a Lay Trustee of the University of Birmingham Guild of Students, and one of Archlinux's Trusted Users. You can read more about my (mainly Archlinux based) hackery at muddygoat.org.

This site is purely personal, and is a place for me to write down my musings and opinions. Enjoy, and please feel free to leave a comment.
