Hello!

Welcome to my site and thankyou for taking the time to visit here. You will have guessed my name from the page header. Yorath is the name of a live action roleplay character of mine and is also the name I use on the web. Why? Well a lot of people know of me as Yorath but do not know my real name. I like the name as well. In a Celtic fantasy book I read once, the hero was Yorath and the name meant wolf. Somehow this stuck in my mind. (Since choosing the name there are a few co-incidences around the name and character - You can read about them here.)

I work for a university in London, England called the London Metropolitan University. I work as senior on the helpdesk that provides support for staff computer usage. A lot of the time I am explaining to staff the best way to do things or how to recover from a problem. Most of the staff are ok but there are a few that contact us lots where the problem resides between the keyboard and the chair.

In my spare time I have many interests. Foremost among these are those involving spending time with my family and friends. My other interests, in no particular order include storytelling and computer art, cooking, gardening, gaming, American Football, hiking and camping, comics, films, photography and watching Grand Prix racing. Although I do not watch a lot of TV, hating both soaps and reality rubbish, I do watch occasional series like Dr Who (of course!) and Torchwood. The only sports I bother to watch are Formula 1 Grand Prix and American football - the latter rarely due to the unsociable times it is scheduled for!

The other pages of this site include examples of my work and that of some of my friends. I have also included some pictures that I like created by people I do not know at all! Needless to say that where links exist I have included links to their galleries or sites. Unfortunately I suffered a hard disc crash and lost a lot of email addresses and links. I am hoping that folk will help me by letting me know what these should be. There is also a link to Draxman - a bit of fun we had.
