Chess: Club player in England, (+- 1640 ELO). With that rating I'm not going to provide too much insights into the subtleties of the game itself, but I am strangely fascinated with its social aspects.

Philosophy: Scientific realist, hard physicalist. I used to take it seriously, but these days I find philosophical musings rather tedious.

Job: Java/Enterprise, banking

Physics: Just an interested observer
