I was born in Gloucestershire, England in May 1972, and grew up in Wotton-under-Edge, a small town on the southern edge of the Cotswolds. Wotton is twinned with Beaumont-le-Roger, a town of a similar size in Normandy, France — you can read more about this on the twinning association's web site.
I was educated at Katharine Lady Berkeley's School and Warwick University, from which I graduated in computer science in 1993.
I am currently employed as a software engineer by Cyberscience Corporation in Hoddesdon, a small town in the south of Hertfordshire where I am also living at the moment.
My home email address is tom@compton.nu, and my work email address is thh@cyberscience.com.
I am the editor of CAUGers, the journal of the C Acorn User Group, which is a special interest group of the Association of C and C++ Users. I am also the Product Development Officer, Postmaster and Webmaster for The ARM Club, and in what little spare time I have left after all that, I develop various pieces of freeware for RISC OS computer systems.
My PGP public key is available here.
My brother and his wife run a florists in Bournemouth, Daisy Chain Flowers.
