Leader of Birmingham.pm [pm.org], CPAN author and father of 2. Spare time involves lots of Perl (see links below) and arranging meetings for Birmingham.pm (if you would like to visit us and/or give a talk, please let us know). I co-organised YAPC::Europe in 2006 and now help to support organisers with documentation and templates, and I keep an eye on CPAN Testing helping to promote it as much as I can.
If you really want to find out more, buy me a Guinness. Just don't ask the obvious

This morning has mostly been spent updating all my Debian and Ubuntu boxes, and regenerating all my ssh keys. I feel all renewed now!
Wasn't it fun! (Score:1)

Thankfully I only had seven machines and one of them was virtual. All of them were patched within 24 hours, just one of them had to wait a few days before it was patched (as it's not on often). I also only had a few vulnerable keys so not too bad, though I took the opportunity to generate new 2048 bit RSA keys to replace the older 1024 bit RSA keys.
It created quite a stir in the Debian community. As annoying and potentially destructive as has been, it helps to remind people that even the best make errors
