About
Hi, My name is Richard Rixham. Welcome to my blog.
I live in Sheffield with my Lovely wife Sue and our two young children, Ella and Rose.
I am a Senior Systems Consultant (Developer and Project Manager) for a New Zealand based company, Gentrack, that specialises in Airport Management Systems.
I have developed in PICK Basic (Generic PICK, Unidata, IBM U2) and VB6. I have dabbled in HTML, VBScript, Javascript, ASP and PHP. Started to take a look at Ruby and OO programming.
My interests include reading, TV and Films, playing with computers (although the time spent on this outside of work is minimal) and Arduino. I help to run the Sheffield Arduino Hackers Network (http://shacknetwork.co.uk)
I like listening to 80’s hair metal and also new country music, such as Toby Keith, Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson, etc.
I’ve now finally joined a gym and have been going most days and my body knows it. I hope to do some kind of run in the next 12 months be it the Sheffield Fun run (3k) or the half-marathon in 2011.
