Welcome to DrHotdog.net. I'm a British expat who's been living in Sydney, Australia since late 2005 working on astronomical instrumentation R&D. Beyond my work my interests include cycling (for commuting, fitness and recreation), watching cricket, food & drink, and gadgets. I'm a long time Linux user, both at work and at home, and a recent convert to Android phones (an HTC Hero) and Google Apps.

This webpage is intended as a place where I can write about the subjects that interest me, and hopefully what I write will be interesting or useful for others.
