HI there

I'm Daniel - I grew up in Northern Ireland , I'm big fan of films , games and TV, some of my favorite directors include : Scorsese, Tarantino and Bong Joon-ho.
Really into Philip K. Dick novels.

I'm a Computer Science student so yeah , computers and stuff. Just finished a years work experience at a software company.

I love lots of genres of music , played guitar for quite some time but I'm a bit rusty! I've also produced techno/house for several years and DJ'ed as well, but I've been moving away from the party scene recently.

Occasionally play Irish trad when steaming (drunk ) so If you play the Bodhrán or the Concertina I'm sure we can sort something out.

Consider myself to be a pretty open minded fella - I get on with pretty much every person I've met.
