| Introduction | I took my first gasp of air in the early 70s in a shed disguised as a hospital, surrounded by drunken, torchlight-wielding janitors in nurse's uniforms. Much later I was discovered by developers of strange computer games, who wanted me to translate their creative outputs into obscure languages with twisted grammar and too many syllables. A much anticipated novel was never finished, although a brief period of written bashings of games other people had developed for various video game consoles was more fruitful. I currently live a quiet life as a single father of various ancient computers I frequently use to throw me back to the times when cassette tapes were wildly popular and my world still consisted of sixteen colours. On occasion I read victorian poetry to my collection of dead plants, while at the same time (quite unsuccessfully, I might add) trying to fight the urge to go out and buy electronic devices from a company using the fruit which got Adam and Eve thrown out of Eden as a logo. |
