About me
Hello, I'm tom, a maker of websites living in Bristol, UK.
If it wasn't for open source software I doubt very much whether I'd be working in computers, so the fact that the the very foundations of the web are grounded in openness makes me very excited.
In the real world I like to meditate and spend time at Gaia House. I have a degree in Religious Studies and like to read, write and podcast about spiritual matters.
Please feel free to get in touch — tom@tombh.co.uk

My own Linux distribution
I was, for a while, actively involved in the Puppy Linux community during which time I developed a popular derivative called wNOP that automatically configured the OpenGL Window Manager, Compiz-Fusion, 'out-of-the-box'. So I am told, tens of thousands of copies have been downloaded. -
