My name is James Eaton-Lee, and this is what passes for my website these days. I work in computer security, and I presently live in Scotland, somewhere north of Edinburgh. I have a wife and two kids, three cats, and a lot of books.

Potted bio follows for those who care. There are other bits and pieces linked above. Long essays, extended biography, etc have been pruned or migrated elsewhere; I'm pretty easy to lookup elsewhere if you want to get in touch or you're desperately interested in me.

I'm a bearded English person living in Scotland. I grew up in Oxford. I listen to a lot of odd music, read a lot, and go for the occasional bike ride. I love philosophy and history from about 1750 to the present day, particularly military and contemporary history, and intelligence & espionage. I also rather like Science Fiction.

I'm quite lucky to have a wife (Lanna!) accommodating of extreme geekish behaviour.. it takes a special sort of person to put up with me enthusing at the federation starship I've just made out of some superglue and a chopped up plastic spork (don't believe me?), tolerate conversations about everything from 1960s civil defence to 19th Century epistemology or be interested in the scripted random scifi page headers on my website (See!). She also happens to be pretty geeky herself, and awesome for a variety of other reasons too numerous to list. The kids are pretty awesome too..

I listen to quite a lot of music - mostly EBM/Synthpop, some classic rock, and quite a bit of classical music. Sadly, not much else at the moment - too little time, too much to do. I played clarinet at one point, too..

I work as a(n IT) Security Consultant for a British Security Consultancy. I do a wide range of work, from web application vulnerability assessments to infrastructure penetration tests and even running security training courses. I have an IT background with a strong emphasis on Infrastructure and Security within the financial sector, and in the past work I've done has ranged from Infrastructure Design work for financial organisations with 100,000+ users to consultancy work for Offshore Construction/Engineering firms, and I've even worked as the IT Manager for a company with two callcenters.

I'm a staff member at freenode.net, as well as a participant/staff member in a number of channels there, and I've been known to rear my head elsewhere online, too. Phew!
