Name:           Giovanni Agostino Ciampa

Address:        Flat 20, Weoley Court, Gibbins Road, Selly Oak, Birmingham.
                (e-mail: gio@wcl.bham.ac.uk)
                
Born:           August 1st, 1966 - Hitchin, N. Hertfordshire, England.

Nationality:    British (Technically dual British/Italian, as I may still be 
                required to do National Service in Italy. This will cease to 
                be a problem fairly soon, as the release forms are apparently 
                at my parents' house).

Status:         Single (I've yet to find anybody insane enough!)

Occupation:     Programmer/Analyst(/Dogsbody/Coffee Drinker).

Interests:      Music (I've been known to front a band once in a while; I've
                performed in various musicals over the last few years, plus I 
                also help out occasionally with a student-run PA/Lighting 
                "company" at the University here in Birmingham, although I 
                don't really have enough time any more to do them justice. 
                Its a good way of getting to drive 7 1/2 ton trucks though!);
                
                Beer (I'm a member of CAMRA, and am slowly getting involved in 
                the behind-the-scenes side of things, for instance working at 
                beer festivals in the local area);

                Computing (Mainly number-crunching, especially when it gives
                me an excuse not to do any work around the flat, although I'm 
                also partial to saving the odd Lemming or two now and again); 
               
                Couch potato (Basically, I'm a slob who likes watching the 
                likes of Red Dwarf, Black Adder, The Prisoner, etc (I'll not 
                mention the number of soaps I "have to watch"). Let's face 
                it, I have to do something whilst crunching those numbers 
                when the pub is shut!).
                
Mottos:         Don't worry about it! (That's _my_ job!)

                I'm a paranoid schizophrenic, manic depressive alcholic. 
                (Well, today anyway; I can't be sane all the time!)

                Oh, I'm alright, if you happen to like being me...
