Things I’m Passionate About In Life

Linux

Well I like and use Linux for almost every thing from OpenSuse on my desktop and HTPC, Ubuntu on the NAS/Home Server and not to forget Volumio on the bedroom media player. Even the server this website is running AlmaLinux.

Karate

I have been involved with karate since 2012 and have graded to Black belt and have recently achieved nidan (2nd Dan). I started after my son graded to orange belt (he no longer does Karate) and carried on through injury’s and a 6 month break. I now train with Tora Kai Karate-Do (with shihan Ben)

Music

Vinyl and Tube amps they are both old school but I love them and have just over 60 albums some new some used but all well worth the money. My McChanson 300B amp takes pride in the media room this was an expensive decision but well worth the money along with the other 4 tube amps (total of 5).
