I'm forty something and divide my time bewtween a boat on the River Thames and a flat in West Kensington.

I have been very involved in the Movement for Democratic Change, Zimbabwe's main opposition party.
For recreation I go used to go hang gliding, but haven't done so in recent years. I hold my Club Pilot's licence, having trained at CMS in Glenshee and at Lejair in Norfolk. I completed my Club Pilot and Hill Conversion in Lanzarote in 2000, with Lejair. I fly a Discovery hang glider and have now completed several hours of hill soaring, which is tremendous fun. Last time I flew I got hassled by a cloud, which was interesting.
I am very interested in the areas of mind, information, knowledge and thought. I presented a paper on some Artificial Intelligence concepts at the IEE in June 1995, including the idea of "virtual meaning".
