John Leach is a human living in Bradford, UK. He makes regular and diverse changes to the universe. He doesn't care much for writing about myself in the 3rd person.
You can e-mail me at john@johnleach.co.uk. I have a gpg key but do bear in mind that my government can compel me to give them access to it.
I'm also johnl on
the Freenode irc network.
Jeremy Jarvis and I started Brightbox, a UK based Ruby on Rails virtualized hosting company. We've recently launched a whole new UK IaaS platform.
When I make the time I also work on one or two personal projects too, like News Sniffer and Xapian Fu. More and more of my work is going up on github nowadays.
Some of my photography is available here. The best place to start is probably one of the selections galleries. Then perhaps onto places or portraits.
I have more photos (with some duplicated) on my Flickr photostream
I'm working on moving all my photos to my blog, so there are some there too.
All my photography is under a Creative Commons attribution license so you can use it freely as long as you credit me and pass the same rights onto others.
I live with my best friend Louisa Parry who is quite lovely.
I'm a legal guardian of 2 mostly black cats, Boron and Carla, and a dog called Lithium (Lily for short). Our other two cats, Silicon and Carbon, died recently :(
