Hmmm.... unusual choice of subject but I'm interested in that I really
like jazz and classical music. Used to live in Ronnie Scott's jazz
club in London. Then, sometimes, I would go home to Baywater...

I've also done a lot of things with Professor Patrick Stakem who works
on space based robots...

So, for me any use of robotics can be fun to read about :) More of
that sort of thing at Fosdem might be a good idea...
