Adam Bull, London
Firstly, thanks for looking at my personal website. It's my warm and comfy 127.0.0.1. Warm your hands by the fireplace.
My name is Adam - I live in the northeast of London with my partner and little pup.
I wasn't always technically oriented; I originally studied English Literature at undergraduate level, with lofty aspirations of becoming the poet laureate. I soon discovered that you had to do quite a lot of reading of dry Jacobean texts so that idea died a death, and I transfigured into techie Adam.
