About
I was born in Hereford in 1981 and I currently live in London. I grew up in Herefordshire, Oman and Surrey; I've also lived previously in Beijing and Xi'an. I attended Royal Holloway university where I read Computer Science. I co-founded Albion.
I'm currently reading The Foundation trilogy by Isaac Asimov. When I'm bored I tend towards online puzzles: the Times Crossword (the easy one), Babble, Nurikabe, chess and so on — see my puzzle bookmarks for more.
Contact
If you would like to get in touch, please email me at henry@hjst.org. I prefer email, but you can also use my address to chat to me on Google Talk/Hangouts.
You can find me on Skype as henrytodd. If you'd like to call me please keep in mind that it's GMT+0 here and I don't always have Skype running. It might be helpful to send an email first to arrange a time.
I leave a terminal connected to various irc networks, the most public being Freenode, where my nick is just my initials (hjst). It's not the most reliable way to contact me, but you can try pinging me anyway if you like.
Elsewhere
Apart from the services like Pinboard and last.fm which I've incorporated into this page, you can find me on app.net, github, linkedin and probably other places if you search for "hjst".
I use ifttt to maintain an automated tumblr which collects the interesting things I find online. In addition, I have the mostly tech-related, infrequently updated blog which is obligatory for anyone working in IT.
Pinboard
I use Pinboard to store all my bookmarks, including articles and links I think are interesting and worth sharing. My public bookmarks tagged with journal form a link-blog of sorts.
Music & Radio
I listen to quite a bit of radio, mostly late-night BBC shows thanks to the time difference. You can check out Pinboard for my bookmarked podcasts.
Last.fm is good for finding new music, if you use it you might like to check my profile page.
