About Duncan Sinclair
I live in Perth, but I commute to Glasgow every day, where I work as an IT bod at Strathclyde University.
The computer nerd in me is a fan of Unix-based systems, including OS X and Linux. I particularily like Macintosh-based systems for their elegance, beauty and simplicity. I dislike using Windows-based systems, and I could live without the boring, complex, and ugly PCs that go with them.
Being surrounded by computers all day can become stifling. One way I've found to express my creative side is in dance - specifically Modern Jive (a.k.a Ceroc.) I've always been interested in music you can dance to, and having a way to express yourself to music is a real blessing.
In a previous life I gained a Master's degree from The University of Glasgow, based on my research in Functional Programming. This involved investigating how HCI research could be used to make creation of graphical user interfaces for functional programs easier. I also have a Honours Bachelor's degree in Computing Science from the same institution.
